::Why are there so many people who died in circumstances where they weren't even cycling at the time? Suggest split off into list of professional cyclists who have been stabbed by screwdrivers/drowned/died in their sleep/dies on way to work etc. No?   
 What is the relevance of listing people who have died whilst cycling many years after retiring from racing.  It makes as much sense as a list of professional formula 1 driver who die in road accidents decades after retiring from the sport. Or mountainereers who dies in their eighties from falling down the stairs
