Start learning a new name: Israel - Premier Tech will be replaced in the peloton by NSN Cycling Team!
Cycling
It's been known for a few weeks now that Israel and Premier Tech will part ways with the formation led by Kjell Carlström at the end of the 2025 season, but who will become the successor of the project which previously had an Israeli-Canadian image was a well-kept secret. Although rumours surfaced that the team will be registered in Switzerland, it's only now that we have learned the name of the old-new WorldTour team - NSN Cycling Team!
With Sylvan Adams moving away from the project completely, the new flag will indeed be Swiss, but the team's soul will be Spanish from now on. NSN enters cycling from a consolidated position in the sports and entertainment industry. The company had brought Spanish football legends of Real Madrid and Barcelona to a the fans in Mexico and much more.
NSN's arrival will be reinforced thanks to the financial and structural support of Stoneweg, an international investment platform based in Geneva, which has operated for years as a key partner in various sectors and has given a definitive boost to this new sporting phase.
With Biniam Girmay's arrival as a founding stone of the re-branded structure, the NSN Cycling Team will write a brand new chapter in the team's history, however the team's sporting core remains the same with Finn Kjell Carlström in charging of anything team-related as most of the Israel - Premier Tech staff continues. The move also includes rebranding of the development team to NSN Development Team.

leedorney02-11-2026 - Watch the interview on youtube. I don't speak French. I do speak English and Spanish and you can hear it in his voice. Years ago LeMond had real personal problems I imagine in no small part because of Armstrong. then Armstrong goes round "full blast" re: LeMond having drinking and drug problems. The same way Andreu was expelled from mainstream cycling so was LeMond. On the positive side the clips of the ride and chatting with old teammates and was good. To seemed like a fun day and experience and good reason brush up his French.atom02-11-2026

- It would likely be a very steep section of 4.1 km, not changing the average gradient considerably, with the climb remaining 10.1 km at 11.8%. It would reach 20% on the gravel. It would start 1.6 km in, and finish with 4.2 km left to climb (before the short final descent)

- bravo! a rider likes jonas needs motivation and he needs to believe in being able to reach goals. he - like anybody else in the world - doesn't believe that he can win the tdf with pogi present. and what's it worth for when pogi is not there? second class victory only. he has checked all three grand tours, so what is left if not retire? the classics! go for it, jonas!Ketterechts02-11-2026
