Stage 16 of the Vuelta a España 2025 was shortened by eight kilometers Tuesday because of a "big protest" close to the finish, race organizers said.
Pro-Palestinian protests have affected several stages of cycling's third-biggest Grand Tour, with Stage 11 neutralized before the finish in Bilbao last week and no winner declared due to demonstrators disrupting the run-in.

This time, there was a finish line quickly set up by race organizers, with Egan Bernal crossing it first ahead of Mikel Landa, with Brieuc Rolland third.
Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard retains his General Classification lead, 48 seconds up on Joao Almeida.
Tuesday's stage had been due to run 168 kilometers from Poio to Castro de Herville, before it was shortened.
Spanish cyclist Javier Romo abandoned the race during Stage 16, just days after a crash amid a disturbance caused by a pro-Palestinian protestor.
The 26-year-old Movistar rider fell in Sunday's 15th stage when a protestor emerged from bushes, lunged toward cyclists and slipped, with a police officer running from the other side of the road to try and intercept him.
In the confusion, Romo fell from his bicycle and then appeared to run after the protestor before returning to his bike and finishing the stage.
On Tuesday morning before starting Romo said he had suffered "only bruises" from the incident but was "not feeling very well, mentally or physically."
In further disruption, a tree was discovered lying across the road at the foot of the penultimate categorized climb up to Alto de Prado, pictures on social media showed.
Organizers cleared the road long before cyclists arrived to the area.
Protestors are mainly targeting the Israel-Premier Tech team, owned by Israeli-Canadian property developer Sylvan Adams.
The team is a private outfit and not a state team, but it was last week hailed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for continuing to compete at the Vuelta despite the vehement protests.
The governments of Spain and Israel have been increasingly at loggerheads over the war in Gaza, which Madrid has described as a genocide.
Israel launched its Gaza offensive in October 2023 in retaliation for an unprecedented cross-border attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures.
Israel's bombardment has killed at least 64,605 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to figures from the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza that the United Nations says are reliable.
On Wednesday, Stage 17 takes riders 143 kilometers from El Barco de Valdeorras to the Alto de El Morredero in Ponferrada.
