Israel take stage-winning ambitions onto Vuelta a Espana with Woods, Froome and Bevin at the helm
CyclingMonday, 15 August 2022 at 19:45
Israel - Premier Tech have announced their lineup for the upcoming Vuelta a Espana, where stage wins should be the absolute priority, and the team will be seeking big points in order to help their maintenance at World Tour level.
Chris Froome will be returning to competition after having to abandon the Tour de France with Covid-19, and will be an interesting rider to follow through the three weeks as he fights to return to as strong form as possible. Michael Woods followed a similar path at the Tour, and will be perhaps the team's best option for a stage win - although a GC tilt is also possible.
Patrick Bevin will be a strong rider for the hilly days and punchy finishes, whilst on the pure bunch sprint days the team will be backing up Itamar Einhorn. Daryl Impey has won a stage at the Tour de Suisse and he will be pursuing similar ambitions here, with a wide set of hilly days suited to his skillset.
The team will also have Alessandro De Marchi who will be chasing wins, as a former specialist in the art of breakaways. Omer Goldstein and Carl Fredrik Hagen come in with similar ambitions, as two more cards for the mountainous days where the escapee groups stand a chance.
Israel - Premier Tech for Vuelta a Espana: Chris Froome, Patrick Bevin, Alessandro De Marchi, Itamar Einhorn, Omer Goldstein, Carl Fredrik Hagen, Daryl Impey and Michael Woods.

- I like see him compete against Ayuso at Vuelta.
KerisVroom14-12-2025 - They'll be the new target for protests, even if Adams isn't involved. Just being tied to that team is a really bad idea. Its probably going to hurt Canyon too.Veganpotter14-12-2025
- Heโs done cross before. I bet if he dedicated himself to that heโd start cleaning up.mobk14-12-2025
- 1. No, the team owners want to have reliable money without having to actually perform. 2. It's "creative destruction". It's how things improve. Resources and labor are put to more productive uses. 3. That'd be more likely to happen if you listened to these "cycling is unsustainable" whiners. 4. There are thousands of pro races per year. Some teams are happy with a podium. Everything here is a Non Sequitur. -An Economistacem8214-12-2025

- He could always try some off road racing, where skills play a part, not just his engine. A great road rider, but not a complete all round rider......wipperman9513-12-2025
- As a cyclist, I'm amazed by his capabilities, as a fan I believe he will be considered as the best ever by the time he retires.awp13-12-2025
- While he is a good rider, he is not in the Pogi, Vingegaard, Lipo and others category yet. Can he be? Time will tell but for now he is in a 2nd Tier. And let's not forget guys like Del Torro who very well could be almost if not as good as Pogi in a year or twomd197513-12-2025
