Israel Cycling Academy has chosen Canadian rider Guillaume Boivin as its 4th rider to secure a place in the ICA lineup to the historic Giro d'Italia.

Guillaume Boivin: "I’m very proud to have earned my place on our Giro team. All the hard work over the past few years is paying off.

"I want thank the team owners and managers for putting their trust in me. When Cannondale closed in 2014 it was a big blow to my career. Thanks to my wife and family’s support, I kept chasing my dreams. Now I’ll be back to the start of a Grand Tour with the ICA boys. Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t going there just to start the Giro. We are going there to race hard and try to make something special happen over the 21 stages. Yalla Academy!"

The decision has left 8 candidates fighting for 4 Academy jerseys for the Giro lineup, including the Israelis Guy Niv- and Guy sagiv.

Secured riders:
Krists Neilands
Guillaume Boivin
Ben Hermans
Ruben Plaza
