Israel-Premier Tech close website and social media accounts with rebranded identity expected soon, confirm departure of Chris Froome

After several weeks of turmoil, controversy and protest, Israel-Premier Tech closed their social media accounts and website on Saturday morning.

The move comes ahead of an expected rebrand after pro-Palestine protests at the Tour de France and more recently at the Vuelta España. There, a number of stages were disrupted, with finish lines moved mid-race and the final stage declared null and void, the podium celebrations also cancelled, and an impromptu ceremony taking place in a hotel car park.
