The 2021 season for the 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. 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]
