Israel - Premier Tech to be target of pro-Palestine protests at Giro d'Italia and Tour de France

Pro-Palestine activists have called for Israel - Premier Tech to be confronted by more protests than ever at both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France this year, in light of Israel's ongoing invasion of Gaza.
In a post on the official Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) site on Monday, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel wrote: "We call for more protests than ever along the race routes of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, which will start from Italy this year."
The organisation refers to Israel - Premier Tech as being "Israeli government-sponsored", stating that the outfit serves to "sportswash" what it calls a "75-year-long regime of military occupation and apartheid."
Israel - Premier Tech is not directly connected to the country's government, but the squad has a strong association with Israel through its co-owners, Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams and Israeli businessman Ron Baron.

- This article shows a lot of what’s wrong in today’s communication « capitalism » Using one rider in a title to introduce a story about another, using media to influence deal-making, trying to create attention pre-results, etc. Just go get your podium and THEN use your platform.Jumpyjohn15-05-2025
- According to the disgraced GT champion himself, Lance Armstrong, the Grand Tours are where you'll see the strongest athletes in all of sports. These riders do a 250 km race today, and another 200km race tomorrow, followed by a 30km time trial, then capped off with a mountain stage with 4000m elevation gain.. and that is only for the first week. I guess that's why doping became part of the sport, because of the extreme pressure these riders go through in a 21-day race. Talk about endurance, that's what it's all about. Sagan may be fast, and Cavendish, and Pedersen and Wout and MVDP,, but they can hardly finish a grand tour.FredMan15-05-2025

- Mads Pedersen is an absolute beast. He really didn't look like he'd make it up that last climb, but he dug very deep, and was there when it mattered in the end. Three stage wins in the first five stages is very impressive indeed.
