After leaving Israel-Premier Tech in November, Canadian company Premier Tech has joined Alpecin as the new co-title sponsor of Mathieu van der Poel‘s team for 2026, replacing Deceuninck, it was announced on Friday in Antwerp.
Now renamed as Alpecin-Premier Tech, their WorldTour Women’s team will also change name with the same new title sponsor to Fenix-Premier Tech.
The new agreement has confirmed the Belgian WorldTour team’s future, with a three-year partnership being signed, with Alpecin also extending its stay for two more years – with an option for a third – yesterday evening.
The announcement comes after Premier Tech ended its partnership with Israel-Premier Tech in the Autumn, saying it was “untenable for us to continue as a sponsor” following the widespread protests against the team’s participation at races such as the Vuelta a España – as a result of Israel’s armed conflict in Gaza.
Premier Tech, too, have moved on, already joining French team St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93 as a major sponsor – but not title sponsor – for the next two seasons.
