Cyclist Guy Niv and his Team Israel Start-Up Nation took off at the Tour de France on Saturday, making them the first Israeli and Israeli team to participate in the prestigious cycling competition now in its 107th edition.

The contest kicked off in the southern French Riviera town of Nice. It will see 22 teams try and make their way across 2,156 miles to the finish line in Paris.

The tour was originally meant to take place at the end of June but was postponed by two months due to the COVID-19 situation in France.

Israel’s team is comprised of Niv and seven other cyclists from different countries: Andre Greipel (Germany), Ben Hermans (Belgium), Hugo Hofstetter (France), Dan Martin (Ireland), Krists Neilands (Latvia), Nils Politt (Germany) and Tom Van Asbroeck (Belgium).
