It has been 725 days since Swiss junior rider Muriel Furrer died after crashing <\/a>during her home 2024 UCI Road World Championships, having been unattended for a full 82 minutes because she was hidden in the brush. It has been 40 days since Finlay Tarling was killed when a van drove onto the course at the Volta a Portugal<\/a> and hit him head-on. Pro cycling, as a workplace, has a massive safety problem.<\/p>\n

A simple system of tracking riders using global positioning system (GPS) units might have prevented Furrer’s death, but the only tracking system in use at the time was in the men’s WorldTour for the commercialisation of rider power, speed and heart rate data.<\/p>\n
