Israel Start-Up Nation have started using electric cars at bike races with a view to having their fleet of vehicles eventually going fully "green" should the trial prove successful.

The WorldTour outfit are currently using the cars for the first time at the Tour of Germany by soigneurs needing to reach feed zones on the course and to transport staff and riders to the start and back to the hotel after the finish.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
