Israel – Premier Tech have removed mention of Israel from team vehicles for the 2024 season as a 'precautionary measure' to protect their riders and staff in on-going conflict.
An Israel – Premier Tech spokesperson told road.cc: "We continue to race proudly as Israel – Premier Tech with the team name and Israel branding on the racing kit as it was in previous years. As previously stated, the team adopted a number of precautionary measures ahead of the 2024 season."
"The decision was made to use the IPT monogram, comprised of the Star of David and the Premier Tech 'PT', on the team vehicles and other branded elements. The team monogram has been an integral part of the Israel – Premier Tech brand identity since 2023 when it was first adopted on the back of the team jersey and this vehicle branding has been on display since IPT's first races in Europe in February this year."
The team reffered to "a number of precautionary measures ahead of the 2024 season" taken to try to ensure rider safety during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, one such measure being that riders were given unmarked training kit in November.
