Israel-Premier Tech used social media to confirm it would drop their co-title sponsorship of the Women’s WorldTour team that has bore their name for the past two seasons. For the upcoming season, there will be a solo title sponsor for the squad, known as Roland Cycling Team.

It was one week ago that the UCI confirmed the allocation of 15 licences in the Women’s WorldTour for the 2024-2025 cycle, with the Switzerland-registered squad listed just as Roland.
