Israel - Premier Tech may not race Paris-Roubaix on regular road bikes as usual. For the recon of the cobbled classic, the team got in the saddle of Factor's gravel model OSTRO and the words of praise from riders kept on coming.
"With a longer wheelbase and increased tire clearance, the Factor OSTRO Gravel provides maximum comfort without compromising aerodynamics. Our favorite bike for the Hell of the North. Clean or dirty," the team said in an official message on X.

Last year, Sep Vanmarcke lead home the Israeli formation in 16th place. This time, the team will have to do without the experienced Belgian who retired at the end of last season. Israel - Premier Tech lacks a clear leader, but one rider to watch out for would be the young American Riley Sheehan.

- Mistermaumau, you are obnoxious beyond belief, grow up.
Senna196001-03-2026 - β If they keep up this pace, I'll fall asleep.β. I think itβs time for that long nap MOU and give ur keyboard a rest. πb3tlla01-03-2026
- You'll find the listing in www.cyclingranking.com/riders/overall. It says "Riders score points based on their results in the races. These points depend on the (historic) importance of the race, the competition during the race and the toughness of the course." I volunteered this info in order to eliminate subjectivity in the discussion. Some MVDP fans say he's "great".. others say he's not. But I guess fans will always disagree on most anything. It depends on which side of the fence you're on.FredMan01-03-2026
- I don't see this result as "monstrous". Yes he's ahead a bit, but there were 20 riders within 50 seconds, many of whom we've hardly ever heard of. Most big dogs weren't there. But congratulations anyway.Ride197401-03-2026
- Interesting... Bock or Finn to be the leader for the Baby Giro? (from what we can tell, Lorenzo Finn has not started the season in great shape)
Rafionain-Glas28-02-2026 - I think the Tudor rider (someone might think of interviewing him) can count himself very lucky, more than half the other riders would have ended up riding (either through lack of capability of an alternative or through a look out for number 1 attitude) straight over his neck. In line with new Strade marketing, maybe they should rename this the Mathieuberg?Mistermaumau28-02-2026
- Del Toro has 15 years to seek results, Hornersβ was a last gasp attempt to become relevant just like our slickheaded friend from UAEMistermaumau28-02-2026
- What about doing your own research? Emilia San Sebastian 2x Euro RR WC RR Not many tour matchups exist and until recently those werenβt Remcoβs order of the day, it remains to be seen how motivated he stays to convert but considering he had zero cycling background heβd be wise to take time to build a base of volume to catch up those bred on bikes.Mistermaumau28-02-2026

- I said TOO! Donβt miss the few occasions where I grant you your feelings ;-) Iβm humble too, when Iβm silent, so the smart thing to do is to avoid provoking me :-)Mistermaumau28-02-2026
