Sam Bennett is the name on everyone's lips in Irish sport after he secured the Tour de France green jersey.
The 29-year-old's points classification triumph is the first by an Irishman since Sean Kelly in 1989.
He beat world champion Mads Pedersen in a sprint finish to take his second stage win of the Tour today, having already wrapped up the points classification at the intermediate sprint of the 122km stage from Mantes-la-Jolie.
Who is Sam Bennett?
Sam was born in Belgium where his dad Mike was a professional footballer but moved to Ireland at the age of four.
He was raised in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, where Irish cycling great Sean Kelly also hails from.
Is he married?
Bennett married his wife Tara last year, a talented athlete in her own right, described as 'a very talented high jumper, and a good sprinter in athletics' in the Irish Times this week.
Tara had a brilliant reaction to today's win, tweeting: "Somebody fu***ng pinch me. This can't be real."
What does he earn for his Tour de France green jersey win?
Bennett earns €25,000 for winning the points classification and takes €1,500 for each sprint win, as well as €300 for every day he held the green jersey.
The Tour de France 2020 total prize money stands at €2,293,000 and this year's overall winner, 21-year-old Tadej Pogacar, lands a cool €500,000.
