Organisers of the Intelligentsia Cup announced Wednesday that they have cancelled this summer's event due to the risk involved with public gatherings amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Title sponsor, Intelligentsia Coffee, has agreed to roll funding forward to the event schedule for July 16-15, 2021.

"This was an extremely difficult decision to make, particularly after our enormous success in 2019 that saw the series become the largest USA Cycling road event," said series partner Tom Schuler.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
