RIP Ms. Furrer
When I was young I raced bicycles for 3ish years (early 70’s). Like many sports there can be an element of danger to it. You add rain and a downhill section with S turns and you gotta watch your butt. If she was alone with few around her, I can see where she would go off the road into some brush and not be seen. This is not the big controversy they are making it out to be, just journalists being journalists.
