The Israel-Premier Tech cycling team have quietly altered their kit at La Vuelta a Espana after a week of escalating pro-Palestine protests. For the remainder of the Spanish grand tour, the word “Israel” has been removed from riders’ jerseys.
Despite rumours that the team might consider a wider rebrand, the squad will continue racing under the name Israel-Premier Tech. Team officials insist there are no plans to drop the country’s name from the official title.
