The Israel-Premier Tech team, whose participation in the Vuelta a España triggered a series of pro-Palestinian protests that resulted in the race’s premature end last month, has announced it will change its name and move away from “its current Israeli identity”.

The decision comes three weeks after World Tour cycling teams suggested they may boycott races against Israel-Premier Tech because of the team’s refusal to withdraw from the Vuelta and the lack of protection from the International Cycling Union for its own commercial and sporting interests. The team’s sponsors had also urged a change of name and image after the team became a focus for protesters demonstrating against Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
