In response to the spread of the coronavirus the Hungarian Government has declared a state of emergency. This prohibits the organization of mass events and makes it impossible to organize international events.
As a consequence, the Organising Committee of the Giro d’Italia’s hungarian stages declared that the Giro’s start could not be held in Hungary at the originally scheduled time. All parties have agreed that they are determined to work together to enable the Giro d’Italia to depart from Hungary at a later time.
