Overview

• Organizers took general classification times at the 3km mark and voided the finish, awarding only intermediate and mountain points.
• Police and security contained protesters near the Bilbao finish as barriers were pressured and access to the course was threatened.
• Jonas Vingegaard kept the overall lead, with Tom Pidcock moving up to third in the general classification after late‑stage gains.
• Safety talks followed earlier disruptions, including Simone Petilli’s crash when protesters entered the road, as the CPA pressed for stronger protection.
• The race restarted Thursday without incident, officials faced calls to weigh security against the right to protest, and Israel–Premier Tech rejected withdrawal despite some appeals for it.
