Mike Woods, a Canadian rider representing Israel Premier Tech, claimed victory in Stage 13 of the Vuelta a Espana on Friday. This win marks the first Grand Tour victory for the Israeli team this season and adds another prestigious achievement to Woods’ already impressive cycling career. At 37 years old, Woods, the reigning Canadian champion, has consistently demonstrated his prowess, most notably with his remarkable first-place finish on the iconic Puy de Dôme climb in the 2023 Tour de France. This victory is the second for the team this year, making it their most successful season since its inception a decade ago.
