Dwars door Vlaanderen winner Marlen Reusser (Movistar) voiced her support for the use of GPS trackers in cycling, in light of the death of her compatriot Muriel Furrer at her home World Championships in Zurich two years ago, as well as her own experiences of crashing and being lost.
Earlier this week, an investigation into Furrer's death found that the 18-year-old was not found for an hour and 22 minutes after crashing out of the junior road race in Zurich in 2024. Races at the World Championships do not have race radios. She was eventually found, but later died of her traumatic injuries.
