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. [2]
