Israel Premier Tech is preparing for 2025 with two more certainties than last year, namely Derek Gee and Stephen Williams : both have had a very high-profile 2024, continuing on the growth path of recent seasons; the Canadian shone at the Tour de France, finishing in 9th place, while Williams stood out with his victory at the Flèche Vallon; furthermore, their cost, respectively 20 and 19 fantamillions, is not even too high.

Another runner who has been at a good level for a few seasons now is Strong at 12 Fantamillions.

Israel has several men in its squad at the end of their careers or on the decline, such as Froome (1), Lustenko (7), Woods (8) and Fuglsang (2).

However, there is no shortage of new talent such as the very interesting Blackmore, at a cost of 4 fantamillions, Riccitello at 7 and Vernon, for sprints, at 5.

Two possible low-price bets for the classics could be Louvel (2), who had a very difficult 2024 due to various physical problems, and Sheenan (2).
