After a series of cancellations, Israel Startup Nation will open the season tomorrow (Wednesday) in a column in the south of France. The team was forced to give up Israeli champion Omar Goldstein at the last minute, due to Corona’s restrictions in France.
The 2021 racing season of Israel Startup Nation will finally open tomorrow after a series of races canceled due to the Corona Crisis. A tough 5-stage race featuring most of the senior teams.
The severe corona restrictions that forced the various race organizers to cancel, came to the group with the participation of Israeli champion Omar Goldstein. The new regulations that went into effect yesterday in France in the face of the new corona wave, banned citizens from entering the EU and thus the group was forced to replace Goldstein with another rider.
Goldstein now hopes to be able to compete in the UAE column later this month alongside Briton Chris Fromm, in his debut in the team uniform. The new corona waves have so far led to the cancellation of 6 season-opening races including the columns in Argentina, Mallorca, Valencia and the Andalusian series.
