Stage 16 of the Vuelta a Espana has been neutralized. After the protests of stage 11 neutralized the finale into Bilbao, now the Castro de Herville summit finish has been blocked by Anti-Israel protestors, making it impossible to continue the race in safely.
"We have a big protest at 3 kilometres before the line. We will decide the stage winner and take times at 8 km before the line," the Vuelta organizers have announced. In the video below it has been possible to see.
The stage winner is Egan Bernal, who was part of the day's breakaway, after beating Mikel Landa in an uphill sprint to the improvised finish line. In the peloton Bahrain - Victorious put on a chase in the penultimate climb of the day and there was action ongoing, but the news came in as the race was ongoing.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
