One day after French President Emmanuel Macron extended the ban on public events to mid-July, Tour de France organizer ASO (Amaury Sport Organization) announced that the world's biggest bike race would not start as scheduled on June 27th.

The organization said to Associated Press, "Given that it's now impossible that the Tour starts at its planned date, we are consulting with the UCI to try and find new dates."

This will be the first time since 1946 that the Tour has not taken place as scheduled.
