La Vuelta shortens today's clock to prevent the protests called
The Vuelta organization has decided to restrict the course of the counterclockwork stage in Valladolid in order to strengthen security in the face of protests against the participation of the Israeli Premier Tech team.
The Return to Spain 2025 has announced that today the Valladolid clock will have a journey of 12.2 kilometers and will maintain the departure and arrival initially planned. The decision has been taken in coordination with the City Council of Valladolid and after consultation with the College of Commissioners, the organizers have specified in a statement published on the social network X.
The goal, they have explained, is "to provide greater support for the development of the stage," afterthe Israeli Premier Tech called for mobilization because of its presence in the race .
As a result of the threat of boycott, the security apparatus has been strengthened and more than 500 State Security Forces and Valladolid Local Police officers have been mobilized along the route.
The protests are not new: in the previous days the route of the Vuelta had to be changed. In Bilbao the goal had to be advanced several kilometres, while last Sunday in Galiciathe stage was reduced by eight kilometres due to the presence of the demonstrators .
The organizers hope that thanks to these measures the day will take place normally and that cyclists will be able to compete against the clock with all the guarantees.
