Welshman Josh Tarling is set to compete in the Vuelta a Espana starting on Saturday, just over a week after his brother Finlay's death in a race in Portugal.
On Thursday, Netcompany-Ineos confirmed time-trial specialist Josh as part of their line-up for the August 22 to September 13 Vuelta.
Director of Racing Geraint Thomas said the team fully supported his decision to take part in the race, while his mother Dawn said the family also backed the 22-year-old's decision to compete in the Grand Tour.
"Finlay was so incredibly proud of his big brother, and would be watching nose to the TV and shouting as he competed," she added in a post on Instagram.
"So it is right that Josh honours that love and pride by doing what Fin always loved watching him do."
