Our 2021 Teams

For the new season, Lisa makes only one change to her Ready Steady Riders: as Carl Frederick Hagen has moved on after a single season, she's drafted in Guilluame Martin.

Steve also makes just a single change to the line-up of his Nightowlers team: bringing in Simon Yates to replace his brother, Adam, who's moved on.

Final Season Results

As we reached the end of the strangest season in the twenty-plus years we've been running our fantasy teams, in Madrid in November at the end of an eighteen-stage Vuelta, Steve's Nightowlers wound up comfortably ahead of Lisa's Ready Steady Riders. Due to the unique circumstances and arrangements of this year's season, it won't be included in our page of stats.
