Derek Gee has suggested he faces a damages claim of roughly €30 million after unilaterally terminating his contract with Israel-Premier Tech, citing "serious concerns related to racing for the team, both from a safety and personal-belief standpoint," as the reasons why he ended his contract.

The Canadian rider announced on August 25 that he and his legal representatives had unilaterally terminated his contract. Israel-Premier Tech claimed Gee's contract, due to run until 2028, is valid. The UCI is now involved in the case.
