Fin Tarling's death overshadows Tour of Britain opening stage in Lincoln

The men's Tour of Britain opens on Wednesday in Lincoln under the shadow of the death of Welsh cyclist Fin Tarling. His former team NSN Cycling, which includes Olympic medallist Ethan Vernon — one of Tarling's closest friends — will line up at the start of the opening 187km stage. A minute's applause is expected in his memory, as safety concerns weigh heavily on the peloton.
