All cycling competitions to be held in Turkey until June have been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Turkish Cycling Federation announced Monday.

"All scheduled activities until June 6 are postponed to a later date because of the coronavirus pandemic. A new racing calendar will be announced later," the federation said in a statement.

The announcement means there will be no cycling competitions in Turkey until the Central Anatolia MTB Cup, which is scheduled to start in the central Kayseri province on June 6.
