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.
