Looking forward to 2021

The 2020 USA Pro Tour Gateway Cup Professional Bicycle Race Looks to 2021

Big Shark Events and the staff of the Gateway Cup Professional Bicycle Races have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 edition of the races. The Gateway Cup is more than competition, the race series represents the final exam of North American criterium racing and is a celebration of four of St. Louis’ best neighborhoods.

This decision was postponed as long as possible. With transmission data trending the wrong way in the St. Louis metro we feel that inviting cycling fans and athletes from around the country to St. Louis was not in the best interests of the neighborhoods, cycling fans, athletes of all abilities, charity partners, sponsors, and our staff.

We are all looking forward to a brighter future where we can enjoy coming together as a community to enjoy something as simple as a bike race.

We invite all fans and racers to channel their cycling energy into one of the many virtual, charity rides that are occurring this fall across the US. Do not stop training, we all share the same roads. Locally, we are gearing up for www.pedalthecause.org this fall.

Next year we will expect sold out fields based on the crazy demand for bicycles.

The Gateway Cup Race Series will return September 3rd through 6th, 2021.

Keep the rubber side down and stay safe,
