Summary
Finlay Tarling's parents issued a public statement on Sunday thanking the cycling community for messages and tributes after their 19-year-old son died on Friday.
Stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal turned fatal when the British NSN Development Team rider was involved in a collision with a car.
Michael and Dawn Tarling said the support had "helped carry us through" and that they "couldn't be prouder" of Finlay's life and achievements.
NSN Development withdrew from the race on Saturday, while the team's WorldTour squad continued racing in the Czech Tour and Arctic Race of Norway with the family's backing.
Finlay, brother of Netcompany-Ineos rider Josh Tarling, had been regarded as a promising young talent in British cycling.
