Speaking afterwards, Paul O’Shea said the family were unable to get any closure over their son’s death because of the ongoing investigation.
“We have had no updates from the criminal procedure in France because while the investigation is ongoing, they don’t release any information.
“We’ve been told it can take years and years as that’s just the way it operates in France.”
He added: “It’s unimaginable what life is like and to have this hanging over us in the background is terrible.
“We know that Sam wasn’t at fault whatsoever – he was on the right side of the road and was just cycling along with his friends – so we just want some sort of justice.”
Mr O’Shea and his wife Angela, who also have an older daughter, Holly, said Sam was “amazing” and his death had been “heartbreaking” for them all.
He said he had had thousands of messages from people all over the world and the impact he had made on people and those in the triathlon community was “enormous”.
An spokesperson for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who died in France and are in contact with the local authorities.”
