Aussie cyclist Maeve Plouffe narrowly avoided a car during the Tour of Britain, sparking urgent calls for improved safety measures—especially as the sport still grieves the tragic death of 19-year-old Finlay Tarling, struck by a vehicle in Portugal last week. Plouffe, a Commonwealth medalist, called the near-miss “scary” and warned of “horrific consequences,” echoing the community’s raw pain. Race organizers responded with empathy, vowing to review protocols, while further disruptions—including another car crash and neutralized stage—highlight how safety remains a critical, unresolved issue in pro cycling.
