Fisher-Black started the 2021 season off by defending his National Under-23 time trial title. If the elite and Under-23 results were combined Fisher-Black would've won by 9 seconds. After a crash in Le Samyn ruled him out of contention he set his sights on the Istrian Spring Trophy. Finn started strong with a 6th in the prologue and a 3rd in stage 2 however when it came to the last stage Fisher-Black was 1 second behind in the overall. His team worked hard and Fisher-Black gained enough bonus seconds at an intermediate sprint to gain the virtual lead. With his team controlling the rest of the stage Fisher-Black managed to win overall. In the 2021 Tour of Belgium Fisher-Black managed a 3rd in the Stage 3 time trial 18 seconds behind winner Remco Evenepoel he then held his fourth place in the Overall classification till the end of the race.On 21 July 2021 announced Fisher-Black would join their team immediately and race for them through till 2024. His first race in the team's colours was Prueba Villafranca de Ordizia, where he finished 67th. In 2022, he broke his leg in a crash in the Boucles de la Mayenne.
Fisher-Black claimed his first professional victory by winning the opening stage of the Giro di Sicilia in April 2023. He said of the victory: “My job was to pull into the bottom of the climb, but I looked back at one point and no one was there and the DS on the radio just told me to go as hard as I could...I didn't believe I could win until I saw the line...I kept looking back, and I could see the group just behind me. It was only 100m before the line when I realised I'd get there before them. It wasn't the plan, I'm still in shock”. He won the best young rider jersey in the same race after coming in eighth place on the final stage.
In September 2023, Fisher-Black finished second on stage 16 of the Vuelta a Espana, 43 seconds behind Jonas Vingegaard. Fisher-Black said of the result: “When Jonas attacked my idea was to go to the front and push the group on...When I looked back the group wasn't there so the DS told me to push and try and catch. It's a nice personal result for me, but the main goal over the next days is to help the guys for the GC.”
