The Israeli cycling team Israel Premier Tech will drop its name, distancing itself from its Israeli identity, after pro-Palestinian protests.

The decision to change the name comes in response to the protests from pro-Palestinian demonstrators regarding the presence of the team in the competition. The new name will no longer include the word "Israel," marking a significant change in the team's identity. The team's owner, Sylvan Adams, will step down in the next season and will no longer represent the team, emphasizing the commitment to athletes and partners.
