Tokyo test events continue with track cycling, mixed zone scrapped

IZU, Japan: Tokyo Olympic test events continued with track cycling on Sunday but planned in-person rider interviews were changed to an online format, as a worsening coronavirus situation in Japan forces organisers to adjust their programmes.

Sunday's test event was to have been the first since the postponement of the Summer Games to have a mixed zone where journalists interview athletes after their events. Instead, four riders were selected to appear on an online meeting platform at the end of the day while the barriers for the mixed zone were set up but went unused.
