British cyclist Finlay Tarling has died aged 19, after a serious accident during the eighth stage of the Volta a Portugal.

The Welshman was competing for the NSN Development Team, when the incident occurred on the 166.8km route from Melgaco to Fafe.
In a statement, NSN said: "We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Finlay Tarling at the Volta a Portugal today.
"Fin was a much loved member of our team but most importantly, he was a son, a brother, and a friend to so many. He will be deeply missed.
"Our deepest condolences go out to Fin's parents Michael and Dawn, his brother Josh, and everyone who was lucky enough to call Fin a friend."
In a post on X, the race organisers and the Portuguese Cycling Federation also expressed their "most heartfelt condolences to the family of Finlay Tarling, to his team-mates, to the NSN Development Team, and to all his friends and loved ones".
It added that the racing was stopped and the scheduled podium ceremony would not take place as a sign of "respect and mourning".
Portuguese president Antonio Jose Seguro added that Tarling's death had "plunged the peloton, the tournament and the host nation into mourning".
