• Egan Bernal won from the breakaway ahead of Mikel Landa and Brieuc Rolland, with Nico Denz finishing fourth.
• Jonas Vingegaard retained the overall lead by 48 seconds over João Almeida, with a summit finish on El Morredero and a Valladolid time trial up next as officials expect more protests.
• Movistar’s Javi Romo abandoned due to injuries from a protest‑linked crash on stage 15, and stage 16 also saw a felled tree block the road and peaceful flag displays along the course.
• Protests have repeatedly targeted Israel‑Premier Tech, which removed the word “Israel” from its jerseys, and earlier disruptions included stage 11 ending without a declared winner.
