Simon Clarke has decided to extend his stay at Israel-Premier Tech and signed a two-year contract extension with the team. He will be racing for the team till the end of 2024.

He appreciated the team for helping him last year when he was left without any contract. “I’m super-happy to stay on with IPT considering they were the team that gave me that lifeline when I had no team. It was an easy decision to stick with the people that gave me that chance for the future. I’ve keen to stay on for a couple more years, and hopefully, we can continue the way this year has started,” said Clarke.

Clarke returned the favor by winning the cobbled stage of this year’s Tour de France . He hopes next year also he gets to ride in the tour as he will try for another stage victory. “A stage win in the Tour is definitely my biggest career objective, and to have ticked that off with Israel-Premier Tech this year has been great for me personally but also for the team. It was an honor to get the team their first Tour stage win. Next year, I just want to continue in the same fashion. I’ve set off on the right foot this year with this team, and I plan to continue as I’ve been doing, and hopefully, some results keep coming,” concluded Clarke.
