La Vuelta de España is one of stage cycling's Grand Tours, the three majors for the sport of including the Giro d'Italia and Le Tour de France.

The Prime Minister of Spain is calling for the expulsion is Israel-Premier Tech, owned by Israeli-Canadian businessman Sylvain Adams, have been the target of protests ever since the October 7th attacks that instigated a conflict in the region.

During the Stage 5 time trial, Premier Tech was first targeted in the team time trial (https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/israel-premier-techs-vuelta-a-espana-team-time-trial-effort-disrupted-by-protestors/)

Spanish foreign minister José Manuel Albares then called for Premier Tech's expulsion. (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/spanish-minister-says-israel-cycling-team-expelled-vuelta-protest/)

Protesters in Stage 11 on the 98-mile loop in the Bilbao region of Basque country led to the stage being shortened by two miles. (https://lavueltaespana.com/news/vuelta-2025-stage-11-neutralized-protests/)

Protestors struck Stage 13, a 125-mile mountain climbing stage. Protestors ran onto the narrow country road and impeded the then three stage leaders — none of whom belonged to Israel Premier Tech — from advancing. Police removed them within seconds.

The 105-mile Stage 15 had more protesters cause crashes by three cyclists. (https://apnews.com/article/spanish-vuelta-palestine-protesters-d87f45e865f1ca6baac9009ddea9a115)

Stage 16, 104 miles, was cut to 99 miles by protesters who blocked again the finish line. (https://apnews.com/article/spanish-vuelta-propalestine-protests-bernal-1666f57596a7891fcca395727b1e0227)

Then was today's 100,000 strong protests in Madrid.

Sport as political protest by attacking Israel. What is going on? Eurovision and now cycling.

Say what you like about France, and I do, at least they know how to control protestors on the race roads. There are so many police, and spectators will sometimes join in, giving the disruptors a beat down.

France has too much of its prestige tied up in the Tour de France to allow disruption.

Many moons ago, Spain decided to allow drug use in places like a city park.

Today, the socialist/communist government could care less about anything but themselves.

When Islam invaded the Iberian peninsula, it took 800 years to remove that stench. Finally, in 1492, the last Muslim stronghold was defeated. Who is left today to challenge this latest invasion?

The prime minister is a leftist loser and encouraged the loser protestors to block the road race. Protestors cannot think of others since they are selfish. Sad. It was an awesome race before it got stopped.

it too the Spanish people over 700 years to end the last Islamic Occupation and control over Spain

looks like it will take another 700 years to do it a second time now that the Spanish Ruling Elite has sold the nation out to a new Islamic invasion

Note that according to your post the protests against Israel-Premier Tech started already in conjunction with the 7 October massacre by Hamas. That was days before Israel started its attack on Gaza. Goes to show what they really want.

The Prime Minister of Spain is calling for the expulsion is Israel-Premier Tech. That’s the same person who a few days ago gave a speech were he regretted that Spain does not posess nuclear weapons and therfore could not stop Israel’s incursion into Gaza.

It appears that the reconquista has been revoked.

"Vuelta a España ends in chaos and disturbances as pro-Palestine anti-Semitic demonstrators take over Madrid circuit"

Fixed it for them.
