Finlay, a 19-year-old rider for the NSN Development Team, collided with a non-race light goods vehicle at the eighth stage in northern Portugal on August 14. The 22-year-old Josh, a time trial specialist, was confirmed in Netcompany-Ineos' lineup for the Spanish Grand Tour on Thursday. His parents, Dawn and Michael, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, expressing their support for their son's decision to ride in Josh's brother's memory. Finlay's family and the cycling community have rallied around the Tarling family, with the professional riders' union calling for improved racing safety measures in the wake of the tragedy. The Vuelta a Espana begins in Monaco on August 22 and concludes in Granada on September 13.",
