Overview
- Premier Tech said the reasons for its support had been overshadowed to the point that continuing as co‑title sponsor was untenable, and it thanked riders and staff for four seasons.
- Large pro‑Palestinian demonstrations at the Vuelta a España repeatedly disrupted racing and led to the cancellation of the final Madrid stage, prompting the team to remove its full name from jerseys.
- Race organizers later cited public‑order risks as Israel‑Premier Tech was excluded from the Giro dell’Emilia and the team withdrew from other Italian one‑day events.
- In October the team announced it would move away from its Israeli identity for 2026, a decision co‑owner Sylvan Adams called a very painful moment as he stepped back from an active role.
- Canadian rider Derek Gee left before the Vuelta citing personal beliefs and has said he faces a €30 million damages claim from the team.
