Oh come on, they get eff all exposure from the jersey. We see it so rarely in races - in breaks, at the front of the peloton - that half the time even we can't even remember what it looks like. 😉 To do get exposure, though, from all the PR work the team is required to do promoting Israel.

You're right; like I said, it's woefully insufficient. But it's something. I don't think we disagree much at all here. I'm just trying to see this in a "journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step" perspective.

If so, wasn't this step taken 2023/24 when they issued the name-less training kit and removed the word Israel from the vehicles' livery? And this particular step does seem to be limited to the Vuelta. As I've said, they're also riding the Tour of Britain currently.

Did they keep the usual kit in Tour of Britain?

That's my understanding: this kit is just for the remainder of the Vuelta. Or that's what they're saying.
