Pro-Palestinian protests have disrupted the Vuelta a Espana, particularly targeting the Israel-Premier Tech cycling team. Demonstrators have lined the race route waving Palestinian flags, and some have run into the road or attempted to block the peloton, causing fear among riders and leading to the shortening of one stage and halts in others. Team management and riders have expressed concerns for their safety, with some considering withdrawal, while organisers and cycling officials remain divided on how to respond. The protests reflect strong support for the Palestinian cause in Spain and have drawn political attention, with government members voicing solidarity with demonstrators. Despite the tension and ongoing security concerns, the Israel-Premier Tech team insists it will continue racing, warning that withdrawal could set a precedent for future boycotts of other teams.
