British rider Alex Dowsett has signed a two-year contract extension with Israel Start-Up Nation.

He will race alongside British four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome, who will join Israel Start-up Nation as team leader next season.

Dowsett, 32, will attempt to regain cycling’s hour record next month.

“From the outside, it’s clear ISN is one of the most exciting up-and-coming teams,” he said.

“With the strength of the signings for next year it will be quite something to be part of a team with ambitions to match the signings.”
