Rennställe aus Russland sind für internationale Radrennen suspendiert.

National teams and racing teams from Russia and Belarus have been suspended from international cycling races, the UCI has decided, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

However, riders from both countries may continue to race for international cycling teams, but not under the Russian or Belarusian flag. This means, for example, that the Russian tour specialist Aleksandr Vlasov from the German Bora-Hansgrohe team can continue to race.

Competitions in Russia and Belarus will no longer be held for the time being, and bids for future UCI events will no longer be pursued.
