MANILA, Philippines — The national cycling championships for road, mountain bike and BMX, which serves as part of the selection process for the 31st Southeast Asian Games late this year in Hanoi, Vietnam, have been postponed due to the alarming rise of new cases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The priority is always the health and safety of everyone cyclists, officials and fans, no questions asked,” said PhilCycling chief Abraham Tolentino in a statement yesterday.
The national tilt for road bike was initially set from May 5-8 at the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority while mountain bike and BMX are scheduled in June in Tagaytay City.
