Tarling death shows risks of smaller races - Vaughters

Former professional rider and team manager Jonathan Vaughters has spoken out following the death of British cyclist Josh Tarling, highlighting the dangers faced by riders in smaller races. Vaughters stated that race organisers at lower-tier events struggle with significant financial costs, making it difficult to ensure adequate safety measures. He also noted that cycling's governing body lacks the authority to fully close roads to traffic, leaving riders exposed to life-threatening risks.
