Organisers will fill the void with three virtual stages between June 17 and 19 using the RGT Cycling virtual platform.

The Women's Tour, cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, will be replaced by a virtual race this year

The Women’s Tour will go virtual next month after the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of this year’s edition.

The six-stage Women’s WorldTour event had been due to take place between June 8-13, but was initially postponed in March before confirmation of its cancellation came earlier this month.

But organisers will fill the void with three virtual stages between June 17 and 19 using the RGT Cycling virtual platform.
