Israel-Premier Tech has been reborn with a new identity for 2026. In an Escape Collective roundtable, we try to answer some questions around that.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an intriguing time for observers of the team formerly known as Israel-Premier Tech. After months of growing opposition to the team\u2019s presence<\/a>, culminating in disruptive protests at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a and Israel-Premier Tech being disinvited from a number of late-season races, there have been questions about the team\u2019s continuity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, the Israel branding was removed<\/a>. Then, major sponsors, including Canadian peat packers Premier Tech<\/a> and Factor bikes, walked away (Factor\u2019s exit is still in the works<\/a>). The presence of team owner Sylvan Adams, who has described himself as \u201cself appointed ambassador at large for the state of Israel\u201d, and links to the Israeli regime were increasingly seen as toxic to the team\u2019s future. A statement last week suggested that new naming rights sponsors were in the pipeline, although there was uncertainty about who exactly that would be, or where they would be based.<\/p>\n

A new chapter. A new vision.<\/p>\n

Now, with an announcement breaking late on Thursday European time<\/a>, we have some answers \u2013 but also some more questions. This has all seemingly come together in a rush, so while we wait for some actual responses to those questions (requests for comment are in, and will be reported on in due course) we have turned our curious minds to the source of all wisdom: Google. In roundtable format (if that table has two seats) here\u2019s what we have found out about NSN \u2013 the newest WorldTour title sponsor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
