In 2019, the race faced "imminent cancellation" due to difficulty finding sponsors.^[1] German cyclist John Degenkolb, 2015 winner of the elite Paris–Roubaix race, started a GoFundMe campaign to help fund the race. The fundraiser passed its goal of €10,000 within 24 hours, including €2,500 from Degenkolb himself.^[2] In 2020, the organizers of Paris–Roubaix named a 4-star sector of cobblestones after Degenkolb, in recognition of his efforts to help the junior race continue.^[3]

The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the 2021 edition moved from April to 3 October.
