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 died during the Volta a Portugal; 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; Josh initially was expected to withdraw but remains in the eight-man lineup.
- Geraint Thomas, Netcompany-Ineos Director of Racing, stated, "It goes without saying that, as a team, we all fully support Josh in his decision to take part in the race." Thomas confirmed the team's backing on the organization's website.
- As a strong time trialist with European and British titles, Josh Tarling will target the race's two individual time trials; the first test occurs this Saturday in Monaco, the second a 32.1km race on stage 18.
- The Netcompany-Ineos squad is led by Oscar Onley, the team's star signing for 2026, aiming to finish the Grand Tour season strongly. Thomas expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt over the next three weeks.
