Tarling family asks cyclists to think of Finlay before riding
TL;DR
The family of 19-year-old Finlay Tarling, who died after a car collision during Stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal, issued a public statement thanking the cycling community and saying they couldn’t be prouder of his life. In a message posted with a photo of Finlay, Finlay’s parents asked riders heading out in the coming days to “give him a thought as you clip in.” Finlay rode for the NSN Development Team and was the brother of Josh Tarling. The NSN Development Team withdrew from the Volta, while the NSN WorldTour squad continued racing with the family’s full support.
