Incident Details

La Vuelta a España, one of professional cycling’s three Grand Tours, will cover 2,035 miles across 21 stages in Monaco, France, Andorra, and Spain. Authorities will close roads along race routes, while large spectator crowds will cause pedestrian congestion, increase demand for public transportation, and disrupt traffic on surrounding roads. Additional security measures are likely; in previous years, demonstrations have occurred near race events.
