- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleCiting 'security concerns,' Israel-Premier Tech officials confirmed the team will not race a string of one-day races across northern Italy as the threats of protests heats up again. bit.ly/4780QDC
- The UCI Road Worlds, the first-ever in Africa, are underway. The racing is based in Rwanda, scene of a brutal genocide in 1994. Yet thirty years on, despite the UN’s legal findings on Gaza, cycling’s governing body is looking the other way…👇👇👇 observer.co.uk/news/sport/a...
- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleBelgian journalist denied entry to Rwanda to report on World Championships escapecollective.com/belgian-jour...
- “There are those who feel that a man more at home pondering handlebar width and aerodynamic sock length, and who garnered only four votes at the recent IOC presidency elections, may now be a little out of his depth.” www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...
- So UCI President Lappartient says: “The UCI condemns the exploitation of sport for political purposes..." But Benjamin Netanyahu says: “Great job Israel’s cycling team for not giving in to hatred and intimidation. You make Israel proud!” So what do the IOC say? Anything?
- WT teams could boycott races involving Israel-Premier Tech after Vuelta chaos. My story here 👇👇 www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

- Adams claims ASO asked him to pull IPT from Vuelta and brands protesters “terrorists” 👇👇👇
- Reposted by Jeremy Whittle"Sometimes, as cyclists, we’re really in our own world" Matteo Jorgenson urges fellow riders to “realise the bigger situations and take some perspective”, after being thrown “under the bus” by Israel-Premier Tech sports director for calling team to leave Vuelta road.cc/315779
- “What started as a smattering every day since the Vuelta landed in Spain has turned into a full-blown protest movement…” 👇👇
- Inside the Vuelta a España Protests: ‘All it Takes is One Person To Do Something Crazy’ bit.ly/45NW0uJ
- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleFormer IPT manager Rik Verbrugge says team should change name. It could work in terms of not attracting protest. But it’d be superficial. Not sure if team owner Adams would want to, and he’s a very political figure, eg close to Netanyahu and been cultivating links with the far right in Europe…
- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleThe war is coming home for Israel-Premier Tech. Riders are refusing to sign for the squad, morale is suffering, and rumours swirl over a name change and sponsors. @cmbreports.bsky.social has the story: escapecollective.com/the-war-is-c...
- Just to clarify, the ‘pro-Palestine’ protests at the Vuelta are fuelled by the presence of the Israel Premier Tech team. If that team withdraws from the Vuelta, the protests will stop.

- At least he didn’t bite him
- Seconds after the final whistle, Suárez and other Inter Miami players instigated a melee. Suárez seemed to spit at the Seattle staffer, who reacted as if he’d been hit by something. More from the incident ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...
- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleFull page article for Paul Seixas in L'Equipe today. A detail but telling is the paper sent its lead cycling writer Alex Roos to cover Seixas. If his win was expected it's impressive all the same, first year out of the junior ranks and he wins l'Avenir, it's only U23 race he'll do...
- Reposted by Jeremy WhittleAt just 18 years of age he is making waves, but how will he handle the weight of expectation? bit.ly/41ofm73
- ‘Our eyes and brains have been rewired, but writing can’t be abandoned, in football, sport – or anywhere’ This is great from @paulhayward.bsky.social
- Thanks for the responses to this. As many have pointed out it goes beyond football and sports writing. The capitulation to 'content' and hits is turning writing itself into a 'cost burden,' an anachronism. observer.co.uk/news/sport/a...
