No Vuelta stage 11 winner as pro-Palestinian protesters cause chaos in Bilbao
The 11th stage of the Vuelta a España in Bilbao was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters, leading the race organizers to neutralize the finish. The decision was made to ensure the safety of the cyclists, but it denied Tom Pidcock a potential first stage win at the Spanish Grand Tour. Pidcock had attacked on the final climb and challenged the race leader, Jonas Vingegaard, but the battle could not be completed due to the disruption. The incident is the latest in a series of cycling race disruptions by pro-Palestinian activists, which the CPA (Cyclist Professional Association) has deemed "unacceptable" as it puts the competitors at risk.
