Cycling team withdraws from Volta a Portugal following death of teenage rider Finlay Tarling

Cycling team NSN withdrew its development squad from the Volta a Portugal after the death of teenage rider Finlay Tarling, who died Friday in what race organizers called a serious incident. Tarling, 19, died Saturday’s day of after the incident, with local media reporting he was struck by a car that entered the road in the opposite direction of the race. Reports said the driver missed signs from stewards. NSN said it would withdraw from the remaining stages, adding that, with the full support of Tarling’s parents, the WorldTour team would instead race at the Czech Tour and the Arctic Race of Norway. Tarling, from Wales, was described as a time-trial specialist.
