Overview

• About 30 pro‑Palestinian demonstrators staged a sit‑in near Navacerrada, the peloton used the verge to continue, and race vehicles were briefly blocked before the Guardia Civil intervened.
• Organisers rerouted the stage to bypass Cercedilla due to concentrations of protesters along the planned course.
• Roughly 1,500 National Police and Guardia Civil officers secured the Guadarrama sector, with access to Navacerrada closed from 13:00.
• An earlier safety step shortened the Valladolid time trial as tensions around Israel–Premier Tech persisted throughout the race.
• With Jonas Vingegaard winning on Bola del Mundo to settle the contest, Matthew Riccitello is due to take the white jersey in Madrid and Isabel Díaz Ayuso is scheduled to attend the start and finish.
