Israel-Premier Tech tease big reveal of new identity
The team known as Israel-Premier Tech will unveil its new name after a offline period on Saturday, November 15, the team announced in an Instagram post [ed. – invisible from Saturday amid online blackout]. The team's branding ties to Israel became a major source of controversy in the sport in the 2025 season, with protests at the Vuelta a España forcing the neutralization of two stages, and the team was disinvited to or withdrew from several other late-season races.
In the wake of that, the team announced a name and branding change, and last week co-title sponsor Premier Tech said it would end its support at the end of 2025, meaning a wholesale refresh of the name and branding will be coming soon.
IPT also confirmed that Chris Froome will not continue with the team. The 40-year-old four-time Tour de France winner is still recovering from massive injuries suffered in a training crash in August and has not been linked to any teams for the 2026 season.
