I would be shocked if the temporary loss of the race for Covid related reasons led to Liberty terminating the contract.They,of all organisations,have been seeking to run more races in North America and in Montreal they have an established and popular venue.It would be absurd to take any action that led to the loss of such an event.Similarly it would be unwise to insist that this year's race goes ahead if the regional authorities are fearful of an event that might add to the number of Covid sufferers.As I understand the situation there is a subsidy given to allow the event to occur and the healthcare system in Canada has a substantial element of public funding so hosting the race could cost them on two fronts.
Could they not do as the ACO have done and move the date back to give the pandemic a chance to be brought under control?
