The Vuelta cycling race, which concluded on its final day in Spain, was temporarily suspended due to escalating protests by pro-Palestinian protesters. The demonstrations began prior to the race’s conclusion, and the event was halted to allow authorities to manage the situation. Organizers issued a statement expressing concern for the safety of participants and officials. Police were deployed to secure the race area, and the race was effectively cancelled. The protests primarily focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, impacting the event’s momentum and ultimately leading to a disruption of the race schedule.
