EF Pro Cycling manager Jonathan Vaughters has confirmed the US-registered WorldTour team will continue in 2021 after French newspaper L'Equipe suggested the future of the team was in danger, sparking a number of speculative reports online.

Education First has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, cancelling many of its language school travel programmes, cutting jobs and reportedly moving thousands of students to online programs.
