Israel-Premier Tech extends contract with four riders including Tom Van Asbroeck - "I'm super happy, the team really feels like family"
Cycling
A total of four contracts have been renewed by Israel-Premier Tech. Tom Van Asbroeck, Guillaume Boivin, Mads Würtz Schmidt and Rick Zabel will continue to ride for the team next season. While Boivin has only signed for a one-year extension, others have decided to stay with the team until till2024.
General manager Kjell Carlström believes the four experienced riders will also be a great asset next year. "Guillaume, Mads, Tom and Rick have now proven to be good teammates. They are willing to ride in service of our leaders but at the same time, are able to seize the opportunity when it presents itself. They have contributed to important moments in the team's history."
Van Asbroeck has been riding for the Israeli team since 2019, winning Binche-Chimay-Binche as a rookie and recently finishing tenth in the Gooikse Pijl. Würtz Schmidt won the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race last year.
Although Israel-Premier Tech is in serious relegation trouble, Van Asbroeck is excited to continue riding for them in the years to come. "I'm super happy, the team really feels like family. We have unfortunately had our bad luck this season, but Rome wasn't built in a day either. I still believe in the potential present. What is great will eventually shine,” concluded Asbroeck.

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
- You beat me to it. Should he make a full recovery (likely) and go light early in the year. One, two, three. Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Should he be on a Feel-Like-He's-Fixin'-to-Die High.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- The deciding factor may be the (TBD) number of (any type of) kilometers without Pogacar.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- Unexplained chronic fatigue is an all too common bitch. The hard to find definitive answer may lie buried in gut mechanisms. A mystery of the deep.Yepperoni04-11-2026
- It's weird to say Evenepoel would be making a "serious mistake by adding the 2027 Giro d'Italia to his calendar, warning that such a decision could even be interpreted as a lack of confidence in his ability to win the Tour de France." It may well be a mistake but with so many commentators (of all sorts) continuously claiming almost everything Remco does as being a mistake, almost nobody should care what the pundits and the disparagers should say. His team may not want him to do the Giro, and that matters. But it's possibly or probably up to Remco to decide and it may not have to be decided on until a month or so ahead of the race. Yes , Remco is inconsistent much like the majority of the best riders but he's enjoying a period of not having been recently injured (or sick). Whatever he does he need not be concerned with critics who will second guess any perceived failure no matter what. I suspect he will have enough other races on his schedule so he won't be considering it. But the worst reason to not race it is because of what some will say - humorous that be.Yepperoni04-11-2026
