Relocation of the championships
editInitially the championships were planned to be held in Nice, France.[1] However, on 5 August, three weeks after the Bastille Day terrorist attack there, mayor Philippe Pradal cancelled their hosting of the event, stating that the championships would require a large police presence which had not yet been guaranteed to him. The Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC) further explained that the "huge security presence" could not be guaranteed in Nice due to "the significant constraints".[2]
The European Cycling Union received several new applications: from Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, Trentino and the Marche region in Italy and the French application of the Plumelec-Morbihan department within the French Brittany region. On 13 August, it was announced that the championships would be held in Plumelec-Morbihan.[3]
