The Israeli team and
the legendary champion will sign a long-term contract on August 1st that will
see Froome wear ISN’s blue and white until the end of his illustrious career.
“This is an historic
moment for ISN (Israel Start-Up Nation),
Israel, Israeli sports, our many fans all around the world and, of course, for
me personally – a moment of enormous pride”, said the team’s co-owner, Sylvan
Adams.
“Chris is the best
rider of his generation and will lead our Tour de France and Grand Tour squad.
We hope to make history together as Chris pursues further Tour de France and
Grand Tour victories, achievements that would make a serious case for Chris to
be considered the greatest cyclist of all time.”
Chris Froome
commented: “I’m really excited to be joining the ISN family. I look forward to
challenging and being challenged by their talent and continuing to strive for
the success that I’ve enjoyed up to now. ISN’s impact on the sport is rapidly
expanding, and I’m energized to be along for the ride. I feel we can achieve
great things together.”
Team Israel Start-Up
Nation’s rapid progression from its beginnings as a Continental team to the
WorldTour in just five years has now entered its next phase, explained ISN’s
Team Manager, Kjell Carlstrom: “We have been looking to strengthen the team for
2021 in several ways, not least of which is to become Grand Tour contenders.
With his impressive palmarès, Chris Froome is the perfect leader to mark our
arrival as a serious contender for these races, particularly the Tour de
France. Chris’ career has been extraordinary, and we believe that he has both
the mindset and physical talents to win more Grand Tours with us, while also
acting as a mentor to our young talents, helping them succeed.”
“We are committed to
building a supportive Grand Tour team around Chris, such that we can make
history together, as we compete to be the best, and achieve our principal goal:
winning the Tour de France” said Mr. Adams. “I am proud of the road we have
travelled, which includes hosting the historic 2018 Giro d’Italia Grande
Partenza in Israel, nurturing young Israeli talents, and inspiring a new
generation of riders in Israel to take up the sport. With Chris, we will move
to new heights at the very top of the sport. I wish to add that I admire Chris
not only for his success as a cyclist, but also for how he conducts himself, as
a true gentleman, off the bike. Chris will be a great role model for our team.
“So, in Hebrew,
“Baruch Haba” – welcome Chris Froome.”
