On Sunday, Guy Niv became the first ever Israeli cyclist to complete the Tour de France, which was postponed from June due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 26-year-old ranked 139th on the 21-stage tour, and was competing as part of the Israel Start-Up Nation (ISN) team, which was participating for the first time.
Niv said he felt "shivers when I crossed the finish line on the Champs-Elysees.
"It was a sense of vast relief and sheer happiness: I have done it for the next generation of young Israeli cyclists. They can now dream of achieving this and more."
