Israel-Premier Tech have been targeted by pro-Palestinian protestors relating to the Israel-Gaza war, which was sparked by a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed.<\/p>\n

Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 68,800 people have been killed, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.<\/p>\n

Although not directly referenced in statements, Gee said riding for the team “weighed heavily on his conscience”, and said he is the subject of a 30m euros (\u00a326m) damages claim for breach of contract from the team.<\/p>\n

Gee, a popular figure in the sport, was considered one of the team’s best riders, having finished fourth in May’s Giro d’Italia.<\/p>\n

Adams’ involvement in Israeli politics is well known, telling BBC Sport in 2020 he is a “self-appointed ambassador to Israel”.<\/a><\/p>\n

He supported Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on a trip to the White House to oversee the signing of an accord between arab nations and Israel during US President Donald Trump’s first term in 2020.<\/p>\n

The protests during the Vuelta affected several of the 21 stages across the three-week Grand Tour, including the cancellation of the final stage in Madrid, when protestors blocked the course with barriers and some riders were pushed from their bikes.<\/p>\n

On stage five during the team time trial, a banner was unfurled in front of Israel-Premier Tech as they approached at speed, taking four of eight riders out of the stage.<\/p>\n

Alongside the concerns of Premier Tech, team bike supplier Factor also asked for changes to be made for them to continue their association with the team in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
