Several teams are looking to attract Premier Tech after leaving Israel

Finding a sponsor committed to cycling is almost like a unicorn in today's world. This is why the announcement that Premier Tech was stopping its support for the Israel team has led many teams in need of extra support to immediately get to work trying to secure backing from the Canadian company, which has been linked to cycling in one way or another for over 30 years. INEOS Grenadiers and Alpecin-Deceuninck seem to be the most interested.

Alpecin-Deceuninck and INEOS Grenadiers on the hunt for Premier Tech

At a time when practically all budgets and rosters are already closed for the 2026 season, a new door has opened for some teams eager to bring in a second sponsor that would allow them to improve their starting position for the upcoming season. We are talking about the announcement of the end of Premier Tech's sponsorship of the Israel team following the protests of recent months.

Alpecin is perhaps the one that would benefit the most from adding Premier Tech's sponsorship, as the end of the collaboration with Deceuninck left the team practically with just enough. Apparently, it did not pose a problem for them to meet the requirements set by the World Tour, but surely it did not leave them in a sustainable situation in the medium term.

Another team that has shown interest in securing Premier Tech's support is INEOS Grenadiers, who, despite incorporating TotalEnergies in the middle of the last campaign, are still looking to regain enough muscle to become the reference team they were during the Team Sky era.

There has also been speculation that teams like Soudal-QuickStep, Picnic-PostNL, EF Education-EasyPost, or XDS-Astana would also be interested in obtaining support from the Canadian company, although all of this remains in the realm of rumors.
