The European BMX Cup, the UCI BMX SX World Cup competitions and the Framed Festival at Papendal are canceled. Papendal has decided this after intensive consultation with the UEC, the UCI and other parties involved. This decision is inevitable due to the current corona crisis. The UEC European Cup would take place on April 25 and 26, followed by the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup and the Framed Festival from May 1 to 3. The corona crisis is gripping the entire world, developments are rapidly following each other, which entails an uncertain time for everyone. It is currently unclear how this crisis will develop in the near future.

The measures taken in the Netherlands, but also by other countries to prevent the spread of the virus, mean that we are forced to discontinue our preparations for the BMX competitions and the Framed Festival. Think of public life that is quiet in different countries, riders who cannot train because training locations are closed and borders that are closed so that one cannot travel.

Jochem Schellens, director Papendal: “This is a decision we take with pain in our hearts, but at the same time we have no other choice. We must put the safety and health of athletes, staff, crew, volunteers, spectators and other stakeholders first. It is not responsible at this time to bring together thousands of (international) racers and visitors. In addition, we have a social responsibility to take.

Lyrics:

In the freaking van with my bro to the track
And we got the Meybo’s laying in the back
I wanna Holeshot like Nic Long
You better be ready when the lights go on,
but I got more skills
To bad those things don't pay the bills
Just be calmer before you starting T-boning like, James Palmer
Kidding james, just making fun,
One of those things we've all once done.
You have to be fast on the track
Pay attention, NegroLima in the back
Take it easy, it's all fine
I slid out on the finish line
Timetrail Terry in the announcing booth,
Probably telling you the French are smooth,
Oui Michel, Aller aller,
Come back maybe, Sylvain Andre.
But it's windy ay,
Yvan said, it's okay!
11 bringing the heat,
Oh men, I love this beat,
Yung shibby or Rick Ross,
In Dutch we say Fietscross.
Tuscon where you at?
Corben beats you with his pedals flat.
Who's there?
It's Kye whyte,
Walking around in his Gucci slides.
Papendal, I love that track.
Oh boy, I got your back.
Sidewind, that sh*t wack.
I'm starving let's go to the Mc
I'd like one McKroket,
More than one gets Raymon mad.
It's race week,
Where the riders at,
At the coffee shop
With their whites flat.

The Union Européenne de Cyclisme Management Board has taken note of the measures in the Decree from the President of the Italian Republic Council of Ministers of 4 March 2020 (click here), and in agreement with the Verona BMX Team, the first two BMX European Cup rounds in Verona, (Italy) on 28 and 29 March 2020, will be postponed.

The UEC Management Board, the UEC BMX Commission, the Italian Cycling Federation (FCI) and the organiser are already actively looking for another date in the UCI calendar so that the event meets the scheduled deadlines for awarding points to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

At this difficult time, the health of all athletes, their families and all those involved is our absolute priority. We will soon be announcing details regarding the new dates of the Verona BMX European Cup.
