A pro-Palestine protestor in the 2025 Tour de France who broke onto the finishing straight at Toulouse at the end of stage 11 has received a €300 fine in court for his actions.
The action formed part of multiple protests against the presence of Israel-Premier Tech in the Tour.
Wearing an ‘Israel out of the Tour’ t-shirt and waving a keffiyeh, the black-and-white checkered headscarf that has become a symbol of the pro-Palestine cause, the protestor vaulted over the barriers with around 100 metres to go.
He then ran towards the finish line just as the riders were completing the day’s racing, at one point being parallel to breakaway stage winner Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility).
Later in 2025, the Vuelta a España was severely disrupted by massive pro-Palestine protests, leading to several stages being partly suspended or altered and the final day’s stage being cancelled.
