Cycling union furious after British teen Fin Tarling dies in Portugal race

Fin Tarling, 19, died on Friday following a collision with a vehicle that was not participating in the Volta a Portugal race. The Cyclistes Professionnels Associes (CPA) union expressed anger, saying it's wrong a young athlete's life ended this way. They are calling for better helmet safety, as current EU standards are rated for only 19.5km/h, which they believe is not enough for road racing.
