A pro-Palestine protester, carrying a flag, ran onto the road from a
wooded area during stage 15 of the Vuelta a Espa|#a on September 7,
2025, causing Javier Romo and another rider to crash when they swerved
to avoid him. The protester stumbled but created a dangerous
situation, leading to the fall, though Romo was able to continue the
race. This incident is part of a series of disruptions by
pro-Palestine protesters at the race, including one that caused a
previous crash on stage 10 and another that led to no winner being
