With the Tour de Suisse canceled, 57 cyclists from 19 teams took part in a virtual race from their homes
Like nearly all sporting events around the world, the annual race has been called off this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, like the Tour de Flanders earlier this month, organisers instead decided to hold a virtual race.

You don’t see the opponents,” Frankiny, who set up his bike on his balcony where he has a view of the surrounding hills, told Reuters after finishing 36th in the stage which was won by Rohan Dennis in 53.07 minutes.
“You suffer alone. It’s more a kind of time trial effort, I think. You’re really on your own, and you see the others on the computer.
