Cyclists criticise ‘catastrophic’ safety measures after Finlay Tarling’s death

Nineteen-year-old Welsh cyclist Finlay Tarling died on Friday after colliding with a non-race vehicle that was driving towards the peloton during the eighth stage of the Volta a Portugal. Tarling, the younger brother of Ineos professional Josh Tarling, was competing in the Portuguese race when the fatal incident occurred. The professional cycling community, including the riders' union Cyclistes Professionnels Associés (CPA), has reacted with fury, with a leading former professional condemning the race's safety measures as 'catastrophic'.
