Omer Goldstein (Israel Start-Up Nation) will be lining up for his first Tour de France later this month but first he’ll be on the road defending his national title with the rider, who is far from reluctant to go out and take a chance on the break, hoping he’ll be able to put the Israeli champions jersey on display during his debut.

The 24 year old will be part of the squad supporting rider Michael Woods, with the Canadian's building form resulting in a fifth place at both the Tour de Suisse and Tour de Romandie, while four-time Tour de France champion, Chris Froome, will be taking the role of road captain.
