Israel-Premier Tech withdraws from three Italian one-day races
On the heels of Israel-Premier Tech being disinvited from the Giro dell'Emilia, the embattled ProTeam has withdrawn from three other one-day races in Italy in October, citing safety concerns around the threat of protests.
The team's change of plans means it will not race the Coppa Bernocchi, Tre Valli Varesine, and Gran Piemonte events the week of October 5. That leaves the Giro di Lombardia as, right now, the only one of the slate of Italian autumn one-days on its schedule, although the team still plans to race at several other late-season events including the Tour of Guangxi and Paris-Tours before finishing its season at the Utsonomiya Japan Cup.
