Overview

• Organizers abandoned the 21st stage after protesters breached barriers near the eight‑kilometre point, with the peloton halted roughly 56 to 60 kilometres from Madrid as police deployed tear gas.
• There was no stage winner, and Vingegaard took the overall title ahead of Joao Almeida and Tom Pidcock as the customary ceremony was scrapped for security reasons.
• Authorities reported more than 100,000 demonstrators in the capital and a deployment of about 1,500 officers, with two arrests noted by officials.
• The race had faced repeated disruptions throughout three weeks, prompting earlier safety measures including a shortened time trial and a cut to the Madrid route.
• Israel–Premier Tech said it received death threats and removed ‘Israel’ from its kit, while owner Sylvan Adams said Unipublic asked him to withdraw the team, and the race’s chaotic end fueled political recriminations in Spain.
