US EditionIsrael-Premier Tech Is Rebranding as NSN Cycling Team From 2026 with New Base in Spain
The team will be registered in Switzerland and operate mostly from Spain after Premier Tech left sponsorship due to repeated protests disrupting races, organizers said.
- Next year, the Israel-Premier Tech cycling team will race as the NSN Cycling Team after being taken over by Never Say Never and rebranded.
- Last month, the team said it would rebrand after repeated targeting by pro-Palestinian protesters during the Spanish Vuelta and exclusion from the Giro dell'Emilia.
- NSN and Swiss investor Stoneweg have taken over the team's structure, registering it as a Swiss company operating mainly from Barcelona and Girona, with Kjell Carlström remaining general manager.
- With Premier Tech's exit, ownership and sponsorship dynamics shifted for the squad as Premier Tech, a multinational company based in Quebec, stepped down as co-title sponsor in November.
- Kjell Carlström welcomed NSN and Stoneweg to the team as it adopts a new identity, and NSN called the change a significant milestone while more than 100,000 people demonstrated in Madrid.
