Tarling abandons Giro after stage 16 barrier crash
Britain's Josh Tarling has been forced to abandon the Giro d'Italia after a crash on stage 16.
Ineos Grenadiers rider Tarling, 21, slid on a very wet surface early on Tuesday's stage and suffered a heavy crash into a barrier.
The three-week Italian race began well for the Welsh rider when he claimed his first Grand Tour stage win with victory in the stage two time trial.
Tarling was unable to repeat that success in the race's second time trial, but finished second, seven seconds behind Dutchman Daan Hoole, on stage 10.
Although there were no further individual efforts against the clock to come before Sunday's finish in Rome, Tarling would have been hoping to complete a three-week Grand Tour for the first time.

Tarling was part of a seven-rider breakaway that had established a 30-second lead over the peleton as the race resumed in heavy rain after Monday's second rest day.
The Welshman slid out on a roundabout, with his bike going from under him and his body hitting the barrier.
Ineos Grenadiers confirmed the 2023 European time trial champion would not continue.
"Josh Tarling has unfortunately had to abandon the Giro d'Italia following a crash on today's stage," the team said on social media.
"Our team doctor is with him and he is undergoing further assessment. We will provide an update on his condition as soon as possible."
Tarling started stage 16 in 101st place - more than two hours behind race leader, Mexican Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates).

Max Verstappen Teases NASCAR Fans: "I Would Like to do it"
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Four-time Formula One world champion Max Verstappen showed a strong interest in getting into Connor Zilisch's No. 87 Chevrolet Camaro stock car at the newly reopened Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria. Red Bull motorsport athletes gathered at the event to celebrate the reopening of Hangar-7. Verstappen is synonymous with Red Bull Racing. But could NASCAR be a part of his future? With Red Bull, anything is possible, especially considering Verstappen's keenness to get into Trackhouse Racing's Chevy at the event, a team backed by the same energy drink brand. The Dutchman has spoken about his F1 retirement in the past and openly expressed that he would pursue a form of racing that excites him. He was recently granted the FIA Platinum License that allows him to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the garage during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on May 30, 2025 in Barcelona,... Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing looks on in the garage during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on May 30, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. MoreVerstappen joined several other athletes in Austria, such as Daniel Sanders (Dakar), Dani Pedrosa (MotoGP), and Zilisch. While walking past the Trackhouse NASCAR car, Verstappen was greeted by the NASCAR driver, who then invited him to step inside his car. Here's what he said: "You wanna get in?" Verstappen replied: "I mean, I would like to do it." The post on X has been shared by Trackhouse Racing. Could this be a hint of things to come in the future, especially with the situation getting more challenging for Verstappen in F1? The recent Spanish Grand Prix saw Verstappen receive three penalty points on his FIA Super Licence, apart from a 10-second penalty for crashing into George Russell. A late safety car restart, Red Bull's decision to fit his RB21 F1 car with hard tires, and a team order to hand back P4 to Russell to avoid a potential penalty all added to Verstappen's frustration, ultimately leading to the crash. The 26-year-old driver admitted that the setbacks in the latter stages of the race in Barcelona fueled his frustration. Newsweek Sports reported his comments from his Instagram post. He said: "We had an exciting strategy and good race in Barcelona, till the safety car came out. "Our tyre choice to the end and some moves after the safety car restart fuelled my frustration, leading to a move that was not right and shouldn't have happened. "I always give everything out there for the team and emotions can run high. You win some together, you lose some together. See you in Montreal."
