Finlay Tarling, the promising young Welsh cyclist and time trial specialist, has died at the age of 19 following a serious incident during the eighth stage of the Volta a Portugal. The tragedy occurred on Friday during the 166.8km route between Melgaco and Fafe.
From state television:
Mr. Tarling's bicycle collided with a spectator in a white Renault crossover that was traveling in the opposite direction of the race. Mr. Tarling had been the first bike not in the lead pack on Arcozelo, Ponte de Lima on Highway EN 306.
Utter avoidable tragedy here.
