Race organizers, after speaking with officials and police before the race, canceled Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne after deciding that the combination of snow and freezing temperatures would be too risky for both racers and spectators on Sunday.
Severe snow conditions in Europe also caused the cancellation of La Drome Classic on Saturday, and in addition to Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, GP di Lugano was also canceled on Sunday.
