We are so thankful, moved and proud of Fin’s fellow cyclists today for making a stand at the Tour of Lombardy. Things need to change and no other family should ever receive the phone call we received on 14th Aug. We sincerely hope the UCI are listening and changes will be made.

So proud and thankful to @NSNCyclingTeam for doing this as a fitting legacy to Fin ❤️
Last week we said goodbye to Fin but his legacy lives on 🩵 We are pleased to launch the Finlay Tarling Talent Development Scholarship, an initiative to continue the identification and development of young Welsh talent in Fin’s name. #WeAreNSN #ForFin | @weare_nsn

Tour de France finisher. Unbelievably proud. Dawn and I have had an amazing trip around Spain & France following Josh, making friends, enjoying the spectacle and falling in love with France. Thanks as always for all the support along the way

So close to the win, away all day in various groups, took a flyer with 1km to go and caught at 250m by MVDP leading out Philipsen. Super proud!
It was a valiant effort from Josh Tarling in the final kilometre of stage 17 👏👏👏 The Welshman attacked under the flamme rouge but was eventually overhauled on the finishing straight #TDF2026

Goosebumps moment Unbelievably proud that Josh has been selected to ride the Tour de France 2.5 weeks ago all the hard work looked to have been for nothing when he broke his collarbone but the support he’s had and the grit he’s shown means he still takes to the start line.

Couldn’t be prouder of Fin today, bronze medal in the National U23 TT champs on our doorstep in Lampeter today. So nice to have all the local support out on the course and to meet friends from far and wide. Huge thanks to all the volunteers standing out in the heat today

Thanks for all the messages, it’s much appreciated. Unfortunately Josh suffered a fall in today’s stage of the Dauphine and has broken his collarbone. However, he’s ok and in positive spirits. It means no home national champs again but he’ll be back soon enough.

Did a thing - Swansea Half Marathon in a PB 1:38, chuffed with that! Dawn still stood on the side of random roads at sporting events 🤣

Attempted the Sarn Helen Club Hill Race today. Bit gutted to DNF 11 miles in but the hilly course & the hot weather were too much for me today. Another cracking event though and a big thanks to the volunteers giving up their time so we can do stupid things 🤣 📸 Rich Haywood

Cheeky day off and trip across the channel to see Fin at the Circuit Wallonie. So cool to see him at the pointy end of tough races like this and making a great contribution to the team winning! Dash for the ferry back now 🤦‍♂️

Had a fab weekend in Ypres looking after the @shibdenapexrt Junior team. Always a fun time away with these girls and their parents. Added bonus of getting to watch Fin race at the same time! Bit bleary eyed this morning after a very late night!

Proud of Fin finishing the Gran Camino race in Northern Spain. After the TT the next 4 stages contained 9,500m of climbing Not bad for a 19yr old, 185cm lad from Wales! Helped the team to a stage win, green jersey & 3rd overall Adam Yates winning shows how hard it was 😬

Some 14 days away that was! “Pinch me” moment every time we get to watch the boys racing at this level. Ferry home now and work tomorrow but Fin racing in Spain all week so still glued to @ProCyclingStats as always!
