O Gran Camiño is the first race to openly say it does not plan to invite the Israel-Premier Tech team to their race in 2026, as calls to isolate Israel sports teams increase after the Vuelta a España protests.

The president of the Gran Canaria council has warned that the Spanish island would not host the expected final stages of the 2026 Vuelta if Israel-Premier Tech takes part in the race, and the Barcelona Sports councillor has said the city does not want the team at next year's Tour de France Grand Depart in the city.
