one Cycling team After protesters gave them some time, the mid-term decision in the incident deprived some of the teams of their team names.

However, the team has been targeted by lunatic pro-Palestine protesters who are skeptical of the team’s name, even though the team has no formal contact with the Israeli government.
According to independent reports, the Israeli name stems from the fact that the team’s Israeli Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams is an enthusiastic supporter of the country and its operations in Gaza after the October 7 terrorist attacks.
Of course, in the eyes of protesters – many of whom I’m willing to bet aren’t even 100% sure what they are protesting, or even why – that’s enough to get the team to the intersection.

Therefore, the team decided to remove “Israel” from its uniform. The logo based on Star David remains, but has been moved.
This is not the first time a team has done something like this. Last season, it removed the term “Israel” from its team vehicles because they were targets for protesters.
On the one hand, I understand that the first priority is the safety of riders and team members. But by meeting the demands of these madmen who can’t even stand the words they don’t like on their bike jerseys, they win.

Hopefully this will draw attention to the sheer insanity of these protesters, but it also makes you wonder why race organizers won’t hit them more. Is it their responsibility to ensure riders and team members are safe against complainers triggered by a country’s name?
It’s just absurd.
