The protests do not stop in the Round, but the Public Prosecutor's Office considers that they do not fall within the competence of the National High Court

During the counterclockwork stage in Valladolid, two people have been arrested and subsequently released, and 15 other identifications have been made by police officers.

Manifestantes esperan el paso de los ciclistas durante la 18ª etapa de la Vuelta a España, a 11 de septiembre de 2025, en Valladolid, Castilla y León (España). La contrarreloj individual de hoy ha sido modificada para garantizar la seguridad y ha pasado de 27,2 kilómetros a 12.2 kilómetros. El motivo de la reducción es por las manifestaciones pro-palestinas de las dos últimas semanas durante algunas etapas de la competición.

Protests against the participation of Israel-Premier Tech in the La Vuelta cycling test continue. Two young men have been arrested and 15 identified during the counterclockwork stage this Thursday in Valladolid.

The two young men, who have been arrested on charges of public disorder and resistance to the authorities, have been released pending trial after being held at the police station.

When released, they have defended the legitimacy of the protests. They claim that the mobilizations are "peaceful but strong" and serve to highlight the "genocide in Gaza."

The 18th stage in the Castilian capital has been shorter in anticipation of the  protests. Previously there have been several incivism: in Bilbao the goal had to be advanced several kilometres, while last Sunday in Galiciathey were reduced by eight kilometres per stage due to the presence of the demonstrators .

In this regard, the association Acción and Comunicación sobre Oriente Medio  (ACOM) filed acomplaint   in the National High Court against the promoters of these protests, including various political parties.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of the High Court informed Judge Santiago Pedraz on Thursday that the alleged hate crimes, offences against road safety, injury and public disorderreported are not withinthe jurisdiction of that court, and therefore has not issued a decision on the precautionary measures requested.

The Return to Madrid will end on Sunday. The pro-Palestinian associations have called for daily mobilizations to demand that the Israel-Premier Tech team leave the competition while the attacks on the Palestinians continue.
