Cycling team withdraws from Volta a Portugal following death of teenage rider Finlay Tarling
Cycling team NSN has ended its involvement in the Volta a Portugal race following the death of rider Finlay Tarling on Friday. The 19-year-old rider from Wales was a time-trial specialist and died in what race organizers described as a serious incident. Local reports indicated that Tarling was struck by a car that had entered the road in the opposite direction of the race, despite missing multiple signs from race officials.
In a statement, NSN confirmed that the team would not continue in the remaining stages of the Volta a Portugal. Despite the tragic loss, the WorldTour team will proceed with races in the Czech Tour and the Arctic Race of Norway, honoring Tarling's memory by continuing to race in his honor.
