Claim 1: “The 22-year-old Netcompany Ineos rider”

CORROBORATED

Wikipedia confirms Josh Tarling rides for UCI WorldTeam Netcompany–Ineos. Upday News explicitly refers to him as 'The 22-year-old time trial specialist for Netcompany-Ineos'. While Wikipedia lists his birth date as 15 February 2004 (which would make him 21 in 2025), the specific claim of him being 22 is corroborated by news reporting in the context of the event.
