The race will unfold over the next week, crossing all seven of the United Arab Emirates, from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and be broadcast to a television audience across the world.
Israeli rider Omer Goldstein will be in the Israel Start-Up Nation team, alongside the team's biggest stars, to help secure a stage win for the team. “Competing in the UAE in the team uniform is an inspiring moment. Until recently, it would have seemed like an unrealistic dream," said 23-year-old Goldstein
He continued: "In all honesty, I am still finding it hard to digest, but once I am on the start line, I will be fully focused on just one thing – helping the team win.”
“For me, this is the victory of sports, and being here is proof of that."
