Israel Start-Up Nation's Omer Goldstein won the postponed 2020 Israeli road race championships in Beit Guvrin on Saturday, outsprinting Israel Cycling Academy's Eitan Levi and defending champion Guy Sagiv.

Goldstein recently completed his first Grand Tour at the Vuelta a España – riding in the service of team leader Dan Martin, who finished fourth overall – and was able to take advantage of his form.
