2020 BinckBank Tour
The 2020 BinckBank Tour was a road cycling stage race that was originally scheduled to take place between 31 August and 6 September 2020 in Belgium. However, because of the Tour de France being rescheduled to the time the event was to have taken place, the race was rescheduled to remove the conflict. It started on 29 September 2020 (nine days after Le Tour finished) and ended on 3 October 2020. It was the 16th edition of the BinckBank Tour and was part of the 2020 UCI World Tour.
Twenty-four teams participated in the 2020 edition. All nineteen UCI WorldTeams were invited automatically and obliged to enter a team into the race. In addition, 5 wildcards were awarded to UCI ProTeams. Each team was allowed to enter up to seven riders; Astana, Groupama–FDJ, INEOS Grenadiers (with six each), and Movistar Team (with five) were the only teams not to do so. 94 of the 163 riders in the race finished.
