The final stage of the Vuelta a España in Madrid is suspended after pro-Palestinian protests block the route, targeting the participation of the Israel-Premier Tech team. Hundreds topple barriers and clash with Spain’s National Police, who deploy tear gas but fail to clear the crowds. Twenty-two officers are injured, and two arrests are made. Organizers end the race early for security reasons, cancelling the podium ceremony as protests intensify.
