LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Cycling team NSN withdrew its development squad from the rest of the Volta a Portugal race on Saturday following the death of its rider Finlay Tarling the day before.
Tarling, 19, died in what organizers called a serious incident on Friday. Local media reports said he was struck by a car that entered the road. The driver reportedly missed the signs from stewards and entered the road going in the opposite direction of the race.
“Following Fin Tarling’s tragic passing on Friday, the NSN Development Team has withdrawn from the remaining Volta a Portugal stages,” NSN said Saturday.
Tarling, from Wales, was a time-trial specialist.
