Nick Schultz - Breaking down the Israel-Premier Tech drama - Domestique Hotseat
Nick Schultz joins The Hotseat to look back on a career that has taken him from Brisbane to Caja Rural, GreenEdge, Israel-Premier Tech and now NSN Cycling Team - and to look ahead to Milan–Sanremo and the 2026 Giro d'Italia.
The Australian domestique talks about the BB Hotels KTM collapse that left him without a team in December, what he learned riding alongside Chris Froome, the political pressure of racing for Israel Premier Tech in 2025, and what it actually felt like to beat Tadej Pogačar in a bunch sprint.
He also shares his view on how nutrition and race speeds have changed the peloton since 2017, why he avoided the Tour Down Under for the first decade of his career, and what he makes of the culture shift from IPT to NSN.
