Canadian Derek Gee is attempting to break his contract with the Israel-Premier Tech team and, according to reports, move to Ineos Grenadiers.
Israel-Premier Tech posted on social media on Friday morning that it had received a notice of termination from Gee’s lawyers, after Daniel Benson reported on “circulating reports” that the 28-year-old would be moving to Ineos Grenadiers.
The team’s social post suggests it intends to strongly oppose Gee’s departure, saying it “firmly believes that Gee’s contract is valid until 2028”.
“Israel-Premier Tech firmly believes that Gee’s contract is valid until 2028 and is engaged in continued discussions with Gee’s representatives and the UCI to resolve the situation and uphold the respective contract. No further comments can be made at this time.”
