'Asked us to get rid of Israel': Cycling team to change name; protests expected in Canada

September 12, 2025 Times of India, IFTTT No Comments

Cycling team Israel-Premier Tech will race under the name IPT in Canada this week to avoid potential pro-Palestinian protests. Organizers confirmed the team requested the removal of "Israel" from their branding for the Quebec and Montreal races. This decision follows similar demonstrations that disrupted the Vuelta a Espana, prompted by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
