==Cyclists who died during training== {{Dynamic list}}  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 involved Néstor Mora, Augusto Triana, and Hernán Patiño from Team Postobón in 1995. The death rates for cyclists, in general, differ from country to country depending on how popular 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%.<ref name = "Froome"/>{{#tag:ref| There is a 58-year gap in this List of the recorded deaths of cyclists during training – from 1936 to 1994 – because none have been found so far by the editors who have worked on this List. |group="Note"|name="Gap"}}
