Thank you for signing up!

It's July, and that means it's Tour de France time. Factor will be racing with Israel – Premier Tech and Human Powered Health Cycling in the Tour de France Femmes.

The 2025 edition is the sixth year that Israel – Premier Tech will be racing on Factor, and that partnership will be continuing beyond,

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Israel – Premier Tech. There is no greater testing ground than the biggest races in the world, and no better inspiration than seeing our bikes ridden by the best athletes. This partnership is where innovation meets reality, and that’s where Factor thrives.”

Rob Gitelis, founder of Factor Bikes and Black Inc.

The team will be racing on the OSTRO VAM Watercolour with a matching jersey design as a celebration of the partnership extension.

That's what's going on in the race, but this year we'll also be telling stories from inside the race. David Millar will be on the ground throughout the three weeks in his role as TV commentator for British television, his final year in that role.

He'll also be writing a daily diary: "The diary in the past has been a simple means to share life from behind the scenes. It allows me to have a more considered perspective on the race, one that isn’t always possible in the heat of live commentary. There’s also so much interesting peripheral action. We coined it “accidental tourism” because often we’ll stumble into places and discover things that we’d never have known existed if we weren’t on the road in the midst of the circus. I enjoy sharing those moments, and this year I’m going to look out for them all the more, because I won’t be taking any of it for granted."

Thanks very much for signing up and coming along on the journey.
