List of racing cyclists and pacemakers with a cycling-related death

The first documented deaths of competitive cyclists during competition or training date to the 1890s and early 1900s when the then recently-invented safety or two-wheel bicycle made cycling more popular.[1] The athletes delineated here were professional cyclists and pacemakers or well-known competitive amateurs whose deaths are part of cycling's historic record and memorializing culture. Pacemakers were and are motorcyclists utilized in motor-paced racing, riding motorcycles in front of their cycling teammates to provide an additional boost of speed to those cyclists via the resulting slipstreams.[2]

Parc des Princes Velodrome,
site of Breton's 1902 death
(circa 1900 postcard)

Safety has been a concern since cycling's early days. By 1929 at least 47 people had died while racing at velodromes — 33 cyclists and 14 pacemakers.[3][Note 1] The sport exists in the modern era as keirin racing and derny racing. Related events and risks factor into cyclists' deaths. A number of professionals and competitive amateurs have been killed in accidents with motorized vehicles while training on public roads plus there is a growing number of cyclists who have died of heart attacks while cycling in a race or while training.[5] After the death of Andrey Kivilev in a crash during the 2003 Paris-Nice race the Union Cycliste Internationale instituted a mandatory helmet rule.

The dangers of the various sporting forms of cycling continue to be an issue,[6] including training on public roadways.[7] A survey of 2008 Olympics teams, however, indicated that cycling was not even in the top six most injury-prone sports during competition that year.[8]

Racing cyclists who have died during a race or during training are remembered by cycling aficionados and the cycling press. Their personal effects are exhibited in museums,[9] their cemetery markers and tombstones are visited by fans, and as one commentator wrote "Plaques, statues and shrines to cycling's fallen heroes are scattered all over Europe's mountain roads, turning any ride into a pilgrimage."[10]

Cycling who died during training
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

The following athletes died while individually training for competitions or during scheduled breaks while participating in a professional race. The only incident of multiple deaths from a team were Néstor Mora, Augusto Triana, and Hernán Patiño from Team Postobon in 1995. The death rates for cyclists in general differs from country to country depending on how popular the sport of cycling is. A 2015 study of European Union cyclists' deaths, for instance, showed that in the Netherlands almost 25% of road deaths were cyclists while Greece had less than 5%.[7][Note 25]
