The Volta a Portugal was in mourning on Friday after the tragic death of NSN Development Team rider Finlay Tarling during the 166.8km stage 8 from Melfaço to Fafe.
The 19-year-old Briton was racing off the back of the peloton when he was involved in a collision with an oncoming driver, who had driven their vehicle onto the race course, according to reporting from Portuguese national broadcaster RTP. Further details of the incident have yet to be disclosed.
