Furrer Found After 82 Minutes
Swiss prosecutors closed their investigation into the death of 18-year-old Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer.
“An investigation found no evidence of criminal conduct or negligence on the part of the organiser”
She was not found for 82 minutes after crashing.
The Zurich Public Prosecutors' Office concluded there was no evidence of criminal conduct or negligence on the part of the organiser.
Furrer left the road in wet conditions and crashed into a wooded area, out of sight of support vehicles and marshals.
No GPS Tracking at Worlds
Racers at the 2024 World Championships were not permitted to wear GPS trackers.
The UCI introduced GPS trackers for the 2025 World Championships in Rwanda.
The CPA believes this should have been implemented years ago.
Emergency Response and Community
Emergency responders arrived shortly after Furrer was found.
“Once located, emergency crews arrived within minutes and began treatment at the scene before transporting her to hospital”
The cycling community widely criticized the circumstances of the discovery and response.
Furrer's parents have continued to support young riders affected by the tragedy.
