James Shaw leaves EF Education-EasyPost: he will race with Netcompany INEOS in 2027

A new chapter for James Shaw The cycling market ahead of the 2027 season records a new official transfer: James Shaw leaves EF Education-EasyPost and joins Netcompany INEOS. The announcement was reported on 14 October 2026. The British rider, born on 13 June 1996, will therefore wear the British team's jersey starting next year. Netcompany INEOS transfer market The team welcoming Shaw is moving decisively in the market: in addition to the Briton's arrival, seven other signings have been announced: Clément Champoussin, Harold Tejada, Javier Romo, Joseph Blackmore, Markel Beloki, Michael Valgren and Riley Sheehan. In the same period, Netcompany INEOS announced three departures: Artem Shmidt, Ben Turner and Laurens De Plus. EF Education-EasyPost transfer market For EF Education-EasyPost, Shaw's departure is part of a broader picture: besides him, the American team bids farewell to Markel Beloki, Michael Valgren, Mikkel Frølich Honoré and Richard Carapaz. To compensate for these departures, five arrivals have been announced: Emil Herzog, Iván Ramiro Sosa, Nicolas Milesi, Tao Geoghegan Hart and Tobias Bayer. Shaw's 2026 season In the season just ended, Shaw achieved several notable placings in stage races. At the Tour of Austria he took 2nd place on stage 2 and 4th place on stage 4. At the Itzulia Basque Country he shone with a 6th place on stage 3 (a result that appears twice in our data) and a 17th place also on stage 3. These are results in individual stages, not in the general classification. With Shaw's arrival, Netcompany INEOS adds an element of experience and versatility to a squad that is undergoing profound change. EF Education-EasyPost, for its part, will restart with a renewed group, with five new signings offsetting five excellent departures.
