After pressure: Premier Tech cycling team removes the word 'Israel' from jerseys

|
The professional cycling team 'Israel - Premier Tech' announced a change to their riders' jerseys for the remainder of the Vuelta a España race, following waves of anti-Israeli protests and demonstrations that have intensified in recent days in Spain. In a team statement, it was announced that until the race concludes on September 14 in Madrid, riders will compete in special uniforms featuring a prominent Star of David in the center of the jersey - both front and back - but without the 'Israel Premier Tech' text. The team explained that the decision was made for security reasons: "Out of our full commitment to prioritize the safety of our riders and the entire peloton, and against the backdrop of the dangerous nature of some of the demonstrations at the Vuelta a España, we have decided on this change."
