The Return to San Juan that was to be held from January 30 to February 6 in Argentina has been canceled for the second consecutive year due to the Covid-19 health emergency, as confirmed by the Sports Secretary of the province, Jorge Chica.
“We are going to evaluate next week if a local edition can be held. Starting today, in the massive events that are held, we are going to carry out a health pass. We are concerned about the situation, but we are equipped, “says Cycling International.
The idea of organizing the Vuelta a San Juan is to have a race with local teams, according to Chica, who stressed that the priority “is the health of the San Juan people and, if the conditions arise, there will be a test with international standards but with national squads.”
The Vuelta a San Juan was scheduled between January 30 and February 6 and expected to have 9 World Tour teams including Movistar. Among the riders announced were the Belgian Remco Evenepoel, defender of the title achieved in 2020, the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, the Italian Filippo Ganna, the Slovak Peter Sagan and the British Chris Froome.
