The team that will take part in the Tour de France next Friday in Copenhagen will feature Israeli rider Omar Goldstein, for whom this will be his second appearance in the series after his debut in 2021. "My goal is to do something memorable," said the 25-year-old rider from Gilon in Misgav.
The team will compete in the 21-day Tour that will launch on July 1 in Denmark and end on the Champs Elysees in Paris on July 24 after 3328 kilometers - including 4-time Tour de France winner Chris Fromm, the excellent Canadian climber Mike Woods who is considered the team star, and a variety of riders with diverse abilities.

"It's the best team we've put up for the Tour de France so far," said Rick Warbruga, the team's senior professional manager.
"We come to this column focused on one goal: to achieve victory in one of the stages of the column, and with such a composition of proven and experienced winners and with a very offensive approach - I believe we have a chance to meet that goal."
The Tour de France in the 2022 edition presents a constantly diverse race with windswept stages in Denmark, a dangerous stage on curbs in Belgium, climbs to famous peaks in the Alps, headed by the legendary "Elf Doaz", and for dessert also difficult climbs to the Pyrenees.
