- NSN riders were applauded by fans during a Vuelta stage presentation in coastal Almuñécar.
- The reception contrasted with the previous year, when pro-Palestinian protesters targeted the team and portrayed it as the embodiment of the devil.
NSN cyclists stood on stage ahead of Friday’s Vuelta stage in the coastal town of Almuñécar, and no one booed them. Instead, fans applauded.
The scene contrasted sharply with last year, when pro-Palestinian demonstrators presented the same team as the embodiment of the devil. The headline says the cyclists are no longer hostages and that the protesters have disappeared, even though the demonstrators still declared victory.
