Impressed Israel โ Premier Tech managers promote Joseph Blackmore to main team with immediate effect
CyclingSaturday, 04 May 2024 at 05:30
Joseph Blackmore is yet to lose in a stage race in 2024, yet his next challenge will await him with second best ProTour team, Israel - Premier Tech from now on. The Briton was initially scheduled to step up from the Israeli team's academy only in 2025, but after Rick Zabel's early retirement a spot in higher division opened up for the 21-year-old Blackmore.
"We are excited to welcome Joe to Israel โ Premier Tech earlier than originally planned," says manager Kjell Carlstrรถm. "When a spot in our ProTeam became available, it made sense to bring Joe up already to give him the chance to race at the WorldTour level, where we believe he will excel."
"He has enjoyed a fantastic start to his season and we are looking forward to seeing what he can do with us. Joe was already scheduled to race Tro-Bro Lรฉon with IPT this Sunday so he will now line up as a ProTeam rider."
"Itโs incredible to be in a position to move up and race at the highest level, starting on Sunday at Tro-Bro Lรฉon," says Blackmore. "Hopefully I can have a good rest of the season alongside experienced teammates who I can race with and learn from. Iโm also incredibly grateful to the team for the confidence they have shown in me so far โ Iโm ready for the rest of the year now!"

- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 ยฐC), leaving his team with a man less.

leedorney09-01-2026 - it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
