This combination of a social, political, and sports mission could be what leads them to victory and make themselves eternal in the history books.

Jean Bélanger, Premier Tech’s President and CEO stated,
This partnership is for at least the next four years, but four years is only the beginning. This team obviously has a solid foundation in Israel but it also has with Canada. We have five out of the six WorldTour Canadian riders and we have Canadians in the management.
Apart from the sponsorships, the company has huge goals and ambitions, they want to up their game. Ron Baron, another co-owner of Israel Premier Tech is very confident in his team, they plan on adding even more professional riders in the future. A diverse and competitive team of highly-skilled professionals is the key to achieving their goals.
Ron Baron stated,
We would love to see one of the young riders on the continental squad sign up… we would be so happy to see it. We have eight Israelis but also many nationalities and they are super talented, and they should join the elite team.
That would be a great achievement if that happens. We want to see more young riders like Itamar Einhorn win races and enjoy this great group of professional riders.
Armed with such a strong lineup and supportive sponsors, Israel Premier Tech is already shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with. With Grand Tours ahead of them, they have to up their game and perform better than ever if they wish to fulfill their goals.
