Welsh Rider Josh Tarling to Race Spanish Vuelta a Week After Death of His Brother Finlay
Tarling returns as a time trial specialist while the team supports his decision to race and a fundraiser grows in Finlay’s name.
- Netcompany-Ineos confirmed on Thursday that Josh Tarling will start the Vuelta a España, just days after his brother Finlay Tarling's death; the team announced the roster only two days before the opening stage in Monaco.
- Finlay Tarling died last Friday during stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal after being struck by a vehicle that leaked onto the race course; initial expectations suggested Josh would withdraw, yet he remains in the eight-man lineup.
- Netcompany-Ineos Director of Racing Geraint Thomas stated, "It goes without saying that, as a team, we all fully support Josh in his decision to take part in the race." Thomas's quote substantiates organizational backing.
- As a strong time trialist with European and British titles, Josh Tarling will target the Vuelta's two individual time trials: this Saturday's 9.4km test in Monaco and the 32.1km race on stage 18.
- Led by Oscar Onley, the Netcompany-Ineos squad aims to finish the Grand Tour season strongly; Director Thomas expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt to the Vuelta's challenges over three weeks.
