Protests in cycling
According to Vuelta-Klat: Peaceful protests and outlier victory
Many Palestinian flags can also be seen on the twelfth stage of the Spain Tour, but it remains peaceful. A Spaniard won the stage victory.
One day after the scandal as a result of the violent Pro Palestine protests, the Spain tour without incidents and with the outlier victory of Juan Ayuso was rolled up. On the twelfth stage of 144.9 kilometers from Laredo to Los Corrales de Buelna, the Spaniard prevailed in the Sprint against his compatriot Javier Romo during the Vuelta and the end of the contract.
After the eleventh stage in Bilbao had ended the previous day due to security concerns due to the numerous demonstrators in the finish area three kilometers before the end without a winner, there were no serious impairments this time. Many Palestine flags were again on the home stretch, but it remained largely peaceful.
The total Jonas Vingegaard held back before the difficult climbing section on Friday and reached the finish line with more than six minutes behind on the side of his rivals. The Dane continues to have a lead of 50 seconds on the Portuguese Joao Almeida when it goes up to 23.5 percent steep Alto de l’ergliru on the 13th stage. An average of 9.8 percent slope over 12.4 kilometers will have to be mastered on the final increase.
Israel team doesn’t think of withdrawal
Then the Israel Prime Minister Tech wants to be there again. The racing team, which is the focus of the protests in the course of the Gaza War, has excluded a withdrawal from the race. “If we stopped here, we would be a goal at every race and would have to stop everywhere – and it would realistically be the end of the team,” said sports director óscar Guerrero.
The Spaniard reported the radio station Onda Cero of murder threats against the racing team. “We are afraid,” said Guerrero and asked to “not attack the team”. Israel Prime Minister Tech is a sports team. “We can understand the protests, but they have to be peaceful,” said the 54-year-old.
There had been several occurrences at the Vuelta. On the fifth stage, demonstrators had stopped Israel Prime Minister Tech in team time trial.
