The Tour of Guangxi women's race is cancelled for 2026 while the men's six-day race is confirmed through 2027. This is not a scheduling casualty — it's a budget line the government chose to zero out first.
Race director Olivier Senn confirmed Wanda Sports China fought to keep the women's event alive for 2026, but the provincial government withdrew support anyway. The men's stage race, running under the same contract, was untouched. When cuts arrive, the WorldTour-since-2018 women's race — already cancelled three straight years during COVID — is the line item that goes first, not the one that shares its funding source.
