"It could be Roger" - Israel-Premier Tech manager Kjell Carlström reveals ex-Ineos DS Roger Hammond might join the Israeli team in 2024
CyclingThursday, 30 November 2023 at 10:00
Roger Hammond is one of the leading contenders for a sports director role at Israel-Premier Tech following his departure from Ineos Grenadiers. Hammond joined the British team as the team’s lead sports director at the end of 2021. His future had been a subject of speculation ever since the news that Rod Ellingworth would leave the team came out.
Hammond has been in contact with Israel-Premier Tech for a number of weeks and on Monday evening the team confirmed that Hammond was on the shortlist of contenders for a sports director role for 2024.
"Honestly, we’ve interviewed quite a few guys because a lot of people reached out. We’re in the final stages but we’ve not made a decision yet, but we’ll take on one more DS. It could be Roger," Kjell Carlström, the team’s general manager, told GCN.
"He’s one of the guys but we’ve not made the final decision yet. We’ve interviewed him and others. Steve Bauer is our head director, and he along with myself and Rik Verbrugge are interviewing everyone. In about a week, I hope we’ll have things ready. He’s one of the candidates. There are around six or seven candidates." According to Carlström, the decision will be made in the coming days.

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
