Youth Demand, a group calling for a trade embargo on Israel, said two of its supporters jumped over the barriers and threw powder in front of the men’s elite race at around 10.35am.
An image shared by the group shows two people standing in the middle of the road wearing t-shirts that said: “Youth Demand: Stop Arming Israel.”
Youth Demand named the two activists as Willow Holland, 18, from Bristol, and Cristy North, a live-in carer from Nottingham.

Holland was quoted by the group as saying: “I am taking action with Youth Demand because I have run out of other options: thousands are being killed in Gaza, our Government is making no effort to stop it and no other course of action, marches or rallies, has worked.
Youth Action said the demonstration came after the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) announced its food stocks in Gaza have been completely “depleted” by Israel’s blockade.
“We have tried all other avenues to get the Government to stop arming Israel and yet our Government is still enabling a genocide.
The BBC’s broadcast feed cut to the elite men’s race moments after the leaders had crossed Tower Bridge and there appeared to be no impact on the race.
