Overview

• Organisers ended stage 21 early with no podium ceremony and declared Jonas Vingegaard the overall winner.
• Demonstrators tore down barriers and occupied sections of the city route, and police responded with charges and tear gas.
• An expanded security deployment of more than 1,000 officers could not prevent repeated breaches along the course.
• Protests throughout the race targeted the Israel–Premier Tech team, leading to shortened or rerouted stages and a crash that forced a rider to withdraw.
• Vingegaard had effectively secured victory with a solo win on the Bola del Mundo in stage 20, with João Almeida second and Tom Pidcock third, in the first Grand Tour finale halted by political demonstrators since 1978.
