Israel Start-Up Nation co-owner Sylvan Adams has reiterated that Chris Froome is the team's Grand Tour leader and that the squad have no plan B for next season as they maintain their unwavering support in the four-time Tour de France winner. 

Froome heads to the Tour de France later this week as the team's road captain but Michael Woods will lead the squad's challenge for the overall classification because Froome has not recovered from the career-threatening crash and the resulting injuries he sustained he sustained at the 2019 Critérium du Dauphiné.
