ISRAEL START- UP NATION

2020 World Ranking 22 Established 2015 Team Manager Ran Margaliot Bike Factor

Chris Froome’s transfer to Israel Start-Up Nation signifies the ambition of the team, even if it doesn’t guarantee success from the seventime grand tour winner - the Briton hasn’t raced as leader since 2018. Still, the changes have been ringing around Froome as support has been brought in, in the form of Michael Woods, Sep Vanmarcke, Alessandro De Marchi and Daryl Impey. Israel Start-Up Nation are slowly building a strong overall outfit, and a grand tour podium will be the aim in 2021, especially after Dan Martin’s fourth place at the Vuelta last year.
