Itamar Einhorn continues with Israel – Premier Tech for a seventh season
The rider who achieved historic victories aims to “continue breaking glass ceilings”.
Itamar Einhorn, who delivered the first six victories by an Israeli cyclist in the professional ranks, will continue in Israel – Premier Tech colors next season.
Einhorn has signed a contract for his seventh season as a professional rider with the team, which aims in 2025 to build on its momentum from this year, its best season in its history, and secure its return to the WorldTour.
The 27-year-old sprinter from Modi’in has undoubtedly played a role in the team’s impressive success this season, with four victories – two at the Tour of Rwanda and two at the Tour of Taiwan. Einhorn is also the rider who made headlines back in 2021 with a huge victory over former World Champion Peter Sagan at the Tour of Slovakia, marking the first-ever win by an Israeli rider in professional cycling.
Einhorn has also achieved numerous victories while representing Israel’s national team, and this year became the first male Israeli in 64 years to finish the Olympic road race at the Paris Olympics. Now, Einhorn is looking forward to the next opportunity to take his career to even greater heights.
“This will be my seventh year as a pro, and my ninth within the team’s structure, and I’m looking forward to continuing to break glass ceilings, as I have done so far,” explains Einhorm. “I still have many goals to achieve, including racing another Grand Tour and winning in Pro and WorldTour races. My personal progression is continuing, and I believe this is all within reach.”
Einhorn expressed gratitude to the team for their trust and said he hopes to get more opportunities to lead the team as a sprinter in key races: “I am very eager to succeed, and I hope the team continues to give me opportunities so I can achieve things we once thought were far from possible,” he says.
IPT General Manager, Kjell Carlström, adds: “Itamar has proven that he can win consistently at the professional level, and he gains more experience with each year. I expect to see him continue on this path, and I am confident he will be a valuable member of the team in 2025.”
For IPT owner Sylvan Adams, Einhorn’s success is a testament to the the pathway the team provides for young Israeli talent.
“I am very proud of the progress of our Israeli riders,” says Adams. “Just this week, Oded Kogut secured a great victory for us at the Cro Tour marking the team’s 150th win in its history. Young Israeli talents are rising and developing within our ‘Academy’ team, and they will make their way to the top squad. Itamar was the one who achieved the first Israeli victory, and since then, he has continued to win. Best of luck, Itamar, in the upcoming season. I am confident this is just the beginning for you and the entire team!”
