Episode Notes This Sunday’s Grand Prix Cyclistes will face protests, as activists call on organizers and city officials to ban an Israeli team. Israel-Premier Tech is owned by Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams, who says he uses sport to improve Israel’s image on the world stage. Race organizers say the choice to include the team lies with the Union Cycliste Internationale—the sport’s international governing body. It’s a decision that’s pushing cyclists like Bill Van Driel to protest the race. He speaks to CKUT about why.
