Cycling team season
The 2021 season for the Team BikeExchange team was the team's 10th season in existence, all of which have been as a UCI WorldTeam .[ 3]
Ahead of the season, Scott Sports , one of the co-title sponsors from the previous season, was dropped as the team switched to Bianchi Bicycles , though Bianchi did not become a title sponsor.[ 1] Additionally, Mitchelton Wines , a brand owned by team owner Gerry Ryan , was also dropped from co-title sponsor after three years. It was replaced by Australian cycling retailer BikeExchange , another Ryan brand which had previously been co-title sponsor for the 2016 season and which became the sole title sponsor.[ 4]
