Pro-Palestine protester in 2025 Tour de France receives €300 fine for running onto Toulouse stage finish

A demonstrator bursts onto the 2025 Tour de France stage 11 finish.

A pro-Palestine protester 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 protester 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).
