Overview

• A pro-Palestinian protester wearing a keffiyeh and an “Israel Out of the Tour” T-shirt sprinted onto the 11th stage route 25 meters from the finish in Toulouse.
• A security guard blocked the demonstrator, shoved him against the barrier and flipped him over the wall to remove him from the course without further incident.
• Shortly after the incident, Norway’s Jonas Abrahamsen edged out Switzerland’s Mauro Schmid to win the 156.8-kilometer stage.
• The protest targeted the Israel-Premier Tech team, which is registered in Israel but features no Israeli riders in this year’s race.
• Tour officials say security protocols will stay in place for the remaining 10 stages ahead of the Paris finale on July 27.
