The Vuelta a España jury has decided to award a 15-second bonus to Israel Premier Tech for 'the exceptional incident that affected the normal progress of the stage'.

Riccitello and Frigo's training, in fact, had been interrupted by a roadblock set up by some pro-Palestinian protesters, just a few minutes after the start.

It's difficult to determine exactly how much time was lost, but 15 seconds allowed Israel to move from 19th to 14th place on the stage, 39" behind the winners UAE.
