The third round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup, held in Cabras, on the west coast of Sardinia, was cancelled today due to extreme winds. The conditions yesterday and overnight wreaked havoc on the course on the beach of Is Arutas.
A powerful storm struck the island on Saturday, unleashing heavy rainfall. Beginning Saturday night, orange wind alerts and yellow rain warnings were issued for the region. By Sunday morning, gusts of wind reaching nearly 100 kilometers per hour persisted, toppling barriers and tents, and posing potential risks to riders and spectators.
