More fear than harm to Javier Romo. The runner of the Movistar team fell while he was in a large group of pursuers, but got up a few moments later. The Spaniard fell after a collective gap by the group who left Jay Vine and Louis Vervaeke. The runners tried at that time to avoid a demonstrator who dropped in the ditch trying to display a flag of Palestine.
This emergence led to the appearance of a member of the police on the road and therefore a brutal slowdown in the forty runners. Romo then hit the cyclist’s wheel in front of him.
This event is part of a series of actions carried out by Propalestinian activists to try to alert on the situation in Gaza and protest against the presence of the Israel-Prime Tech team during this 80th edition of the Tour of Spain.
The 11th stage had to be neutralized 3 kilometers from the finish and no winner had been appointed. Even today, on this 11th stage, several demonstrators are also present on arrival in Monforte de Lemos.
