Chris Froome says changing teams feels “rejuvenating” and likened his long tenure at Ineos to “copy and pasting year after year,” as he embarks on his first season with Israel Start-Up Nation (ISN).

The four-time Tour de France winner left Ineos Grenadiers, formerly Team Sky, at the end of last season after a decade of Grand Tour dominance. Froome, 35, has signed with Israel Start-Up Nation for 2021 as part of a deal he says will last until the end of his racing career and even beyond.
