Summary
NSN Development pulled out of the final two Volta a Portugal stages after Finlay Tarling, 19, died following a crash on Friday's eighth stage.
A National Republican Guard investigation is examining a collision between Tarling and a light goods vehicle on the 166.8km route from Melgaco to Fafe.
Volta a Portugal organizers said the race will continue with Saturday's penultimate stage, but tributes will be held before the start and sponsor activities have been canceled.
Tarling, a Welsh rider for NSN Development and younger brother of Ineos rider Josh Tarling, had recently placed third in the British under-23 time trial championships.
The team said it had Tarling's parents' support to keep racing at the Czech Tour and Arctic Race of Norway in his honor as cycling mourns his death.
