A woman wearing a protective mask to help curb the spread of the coronavirus walks near a banner of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in Tokyo on Tuesday. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has vowed to get the pandemic under control and to hold the games with ample protection for all involved. Strong expects to make his Olympic debut in Toyko this year. “It’s all very positive with the Olympics. Pretty much all we have been getting told is that they are going to hold it at all costs, it’s really positive,” Strong said. “I think it will be very unlikely that the Olympics don’t go ahead. It’s nice for us, to really just focus on that.”
McCormick, who won the New Zealand Cycle Classic in 2018, was shocked their breakaway lasted. “It’s funny because last night I said there’s no point going into a breakaway in this stage because you always get caught but it was just the right combination of guys. Regan and Glenn were super strong, and it just ended out, that we stayed away,” McCormick said. Race director Jorge Sandoval said it was the first time in the stage’s history that the peloton had not caught a breakaway.

Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy are warm favourites to win the five-stage New Zealand Cycle Classic which started yesterday in Masterton.
Black Spoke, New Zealand’s only professional Union Cycliste Internationale team, took team honours in the 2020 tour, while 2019 champion Aaron Gate finished second in the general classification.
The team’s build-up to this year’s tour started with a two-week training camp in Wairarapa in October to familiarise themselves with the region’s roads.
While here Black Spoke also competed in a race of the Trust House North Island Team Series.
