Despite horror crash: World Cycling Championships continue on request
The Road Cycling World Championships in Zurich will continue despite the still very critical condition of Swiss junior rider Muriel Furrer. This was announced by the UCI on Friday. The decision was made after consultation and with the consent of Furrer's family.
"Muriel Furrer's health status remains very critical. The UCI, the Swiss federation and the local organizing committee are extremely concerned," the statement read.
The 18-year-old Swiss rider crashed heavily in the junior women's race on Thursday and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. The crash happened in a wooded area on the lap on the north side of Lake Zurich, which is ridden in all road races. According to the UCI, they are still looking for information on how the crash occurred. Investigations by the relevant authorities are ongoing.
