waiting for the next “provisional revised dates”

That's a busy October!

… 2021 ???

I think so. I can't see any racing for ages yet. It needs all countries out of lockdown so competitors can travel. We are all at different stages now.

It could have been a «good» year, seen from France … as a pun.

2020, in English, is Twenty-Twenty, or Two Thousand and Twenty, or …

In French, it’s «Deux Mille Vingt» or «Vingt-Vingt» as «Deux Mille Vins» (2000 Wines) or «Vin-Vin» (Wine-Wine).

It started as well as possible !

Bloody virus

Surely better to delay "as long as it takes" than risk the need to return to another "Lockdown" later ?
See journo's asking about exit strategy every day - they just don't seem to grasp the reality of "as long as it takes"
