Swiss junior rider Muriel Furrer dies after crash at World Championships



Swiss junior rider Muriel Furrer has died following on from a crash within the junior ladies’s street race on the World Championships in Zurich.

In a press launch issued on Friday afternoon, the UCI confirmed the 18-year-old’s demise after she suffered a “severe head damage” within the crash on Thursday. The incident reportedly happened on the southern finish of the Zürich metropolis circuit, which is being tackled by all street races this weekend, together with the continued males’s under-23 race. There have been a number of crashes on the street race route, largely because of the moist climate.
