"We are committed to conducting a successful 60th edition of the 'Great Race' and hope to confirm the new date for 2020 as soon as possible," G2I organisers said in a statement.
All race entries received for 2020 will be carried over or can be refunded from Cycling NSW upon request by the entrants themselves.

A new date has yet to be set by organisers, who will closely monitor conditions.
"It is still a great time to ride your bike, so keep fit and healthy and re-set your big event goal for later in the year."
