Matthew Brennan calls for cycling safety reforms after Tarling's death

Matthew Brennan has voiced strong criticism regarding the lack of safety changes in cycling following the death of Fin Tarling, who died on August 14 during the Volta a Portugal due to a collision with a van. Brennan emphasized his concerns at Tarling's funeral, stating that cycling organizations must prioritize rider safety. Highlighting the alarming trend, six cyclists have died in road races in the last three years. Brennan advocates for an independent body to enforce stricter safety regulations and pointed out that the current measures for smaller races, like the Volta a Portugal, are insufficient. The UCI recently proposed GPS trackers for better monitoring of riders during events.
