@aaronyarm@jorgemiguelv@LucGrefte Netanyahu literally called them "Israel's cycling team". They exist to promote Israel.
Just because the state isn't directly paying for it doesn't mean it isn't the case.
@aaronyarm@LucGrefte Where did I say I didn't have a problem with those teams? I don't think any team should be directly associated with a country, including UAE and Bahrain.
According to Le Soir Biniam Girmay has signed for 3 years for Israel - Premier Tech, starting 2026 or 2027 depending from Lotto - Intermarchรฉ merger.
The team will also drop "Israel" name from 2026 being called only "Premier Tech"

@NairoInGreen If other teams and riders care about their safety they should refuse to ride until Genocide Premier Tech are removed from the race. Don't blame protestors.
