Major UCI race cancelled for 2026 after government cuts

December 8, 2025

The Tour of Norway, one of Scandinavia’s top cycling events, will be cancelled for 2026 after the Norwegian government withdrew its financial support. The decision comes after the government secured a majority for its new budget. That left organizers without the funds needed to continue. Although the news was made official today, the possibility that it would be cancelled has been out there for a while. CANADIAN Cycling MAGAZINE
