The head of Spain's premier cycling race delivered a stern rebuke on Monday to protesters who forced the abandonment of the Vuelta a Espana's final stage, calling the chaotic scenes "absolutely unacceptable". Javier Guillen, the race's general manager, faced reporters a day after pro-Palestinian demonstrations targeting the Israel-Premier Tech team brought Sunday's finale to a grinding halt just three kilometres from the finish line in Madrid.
