Overview

• Gee, 28, announced he terminated his deal for just cause, citing an irreparable relationship with the team principal and concerns about safety and personal beliefs.
• Israel-Premier Tech says it cannot comment while the case is before the UCI’s Arbitral Board and maintains the contract is still in force.
• Reporting describes severe disruptions linked to pro-Palestinian protests at La Vuelta, including crashes, punctures and a cancelled Madrid finale, with organisers even suggesting the team leave the race.
• The team has begun a rebrand moving away from its Israeli identity, co-owner Sylvan Adams has stepped back from daily operations, and race organisers in Italy have excluded or withdrawn invitations over security fears.
• The reported €30 million figure is not publicly explained and far exceeds typical rider salaries, with the parties’ dispute proceeding through cycling’s arbitration process rather than public court filings.
