Overview

• Race organizers annulled the 21st stage roughly 56 kilometers from the finish after protesters entered the final circuit, leaving the stage without a winner.
• Jonas Vingegaard was confirmed as overall champion, with the public podium scrapped and a low‑key private presentation reported instead.
• Clashes unfolded on central avenues including the Paseo del Prado and Gran Vía, with objects thrown and police using smoke or tear gas, resulting in two arrests and several dozen minor injuries.
• The demonstrations focused on the Israel‑Premier Tech team, which had earlier removed the word “Israel” from its jerseys during the three weeks of disruptions.
• Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez voiced admiration for the mobilizations and later urged international sporting bodies to bar Israel from competition, drawing rebukes from Madrid’s mayor and opposition leaders.
