The International Cycling Union (UCI) has put its staff on leave, and cut the salaries of its high-ranking officials because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The UCIs cuts include full or partial leave for its 130 employees, while senior leaders will take pay-cuts.
The governing body of cycling has also said it will revise all projects, and "resize" grants to national cycling federations, adding that 30 percent of its cycling calendar has also been lost.
The UCIs president says that the international federation is going through an unprecedented crisis, since World War II.
The Giro DItalia, one of the 3 major grand tours, has already been called off. However, the Road World Championships remain scheduled at the end of September in Switzerland.
