IT’S TIME FOR THE TOUR!

Chasing stage wins is the objective for Israel – Premier Tech at this year’s Tour de France and we’re really excited to reveal the eight riders tasked with achieving this goal.

Derek Gee (fresh off his unforgettable performance at the Critérium du Dauphiné), Stevie Williams, and Pascal Ackermann lead our line-up for the sport’s biggest race.

Our roster for the Tour – which begins in the stunning Italian city of Florence next Saturday (June 29) – is:

• Pascal Ackermann (GER)
• Guillaume Boivin (CAN)
• Jakob Fuglsang (DEN)
• Derek Gee (CAN)
• Hugo Houle (CAN)
• Krists Neilands (LAT)
• Jake Stewart (GBR)
• Stevie Williams (GBR)

This year’s race will be the debut Tour for Derek, Stevie, Pascal, and Jake Stewart, whereas Jakob Fuglsang will take the start for the 12th time!

“I’m unbelievably excited to be lining up at my first Tour,” Gee said. “It’s truly a childhood dream to race the Tour de France, and I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere of the biggest race in the world.”

No rider has raced more Tours de France for IPT than Guillaume Boivin, while Hugo Houle and Krists Neilands have previously illuminated the race in breakaways – Hugo, remember, soloed to a beautiful victory in Foix two years ago.

Good luck, team. We’re all behind you!
