Overview

• Organizers halted the race 56 km from the planned finish and scrapped ceremonies for safety, declaring Jonas Vingegaard overall winner with João Almeida second and Thomas Pidcock third.
• The protest targeted the participation of the Israel‑Premier Tech team and led to the peloton’s stoppage on the capital’s finishing circuit.
• Authorities reported more than 100,000 demonstrators in Madrid, 22 injured police officers and two arrests despite a deployment of about 1,100 officers and 400 Civil Guard.
• Teams staged an improvised podium in a hotel parking lot, with Vingegaard receiving the red jersey and Almeida recognized for his runner‑up finish.
• Political fallout escalated as Israel’s foreign minister castigated Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Spanish leaders voiced support for the mobilizations, and the UCI condemned the disruption without further action.
