The race in Whistler, scheduled to take place in August, is always a favorite on the EWS calendar. However, due to the ongoing uncertainties regarding travel and other restrictions, an early decision was made to consolidate the Enduro World Series race season in Europe for this year. The organizers of the gravity festival series Crankworx, where Whistler is the highlight of the season, have agreed that this is the best decision. This will allow riders and teams to base themselves in one area for the summer, which will help manage budgets and also negate the impact of travel restrictions or quarantine periods.

With the possibility of not all nations being able to participate and the desire to avoid team racing, the decision was also made to put the 2021 Trophy of Nations on hold. Even though it is one of the biggest weekends on the calendar, it was decided to focus on a solid, fair and safe EWS and EWS-E season. The Nations event will return in 2022, when riders can once again represent their home nations and ride as teams between the barriers.
