After two years as a super-domestique at UAE Team Emirates, aiding the likes of Tadej Pogacar, George Bennett has now signed a two-year deal with Israel - Premier Tech and the Kiwi hopes to reignite Grand Tour ambitions of his own.
“I’m really excited for my future with IPT. I’m already close with a lot of people in the team and it’s clear that there is a great culture and desire to grow and I want to be a big part of that. I’m looking forward to chasing results personally and as a team and to have the resources to be the best rider I can whilst surrounded by great people,” says Bennett to the Israel - Premier Tech's official website. “I see a lot of opportunities, especially in Grand Tours and in the high mountains and I can’t wait to get started.”

Having developed our sprint team with our new signings, we are also pleased to add depth to our roster of climbers with the addition of George," says general manager Kjell Carlström.
"We are looking forward to seeing what George can do when given leadership at stage races suited to his profile, and providing key support to our other leaders throughout the next two seasons. Welcome, George!" Carlström concludes.
