James Shaw

Shaw signed a two-year professional contract for the start of the 2017 season, at the age of 20. His contract was not renewed at the end of the 2018 season.

Shaw was born in Nottingham but grew up in the town of Heanor, Derbyshire. When he was six years old, he joined his first cycling club, Heanor Clarion. As a teenager riding for Haribo–Beacon, Shaw won the junior versions of both Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. From this, he signed for the under-23 team of Lotto–Soudal, following in the footsteps of fellow British riders, Adam Blythe and Daniel McLay. On 26 June, Shaw came third in the Under-23 category of the National Road Championships behind Tao Geoghegan Hart and Chris Lawless. He was then offered the chance to be a Stagiaire from 1 August 2016 for Lotto–Soudal. After riding a couple of Belgian one-day classics, Shaw was named as one of six riders for the Tour of Britain, his home tour.
