The organisers shared the following statement on the cancellation of the 2021 Touquet Enduropale, translated from French:

France has seen one of the largest Covid-19 death rates in Europe and is continuing to experience large numbers of infections. The country has started to administer a Covid-19 vaccine but has been slow to ramp up the numbers, much to the frustration of President Emmanuel Macron.
