Team SD Worx rider Marlen Reusser has won the third edition of the Tour de Suisse Women’s race.
Switzerland’s Reusser finished one minute and two seconds ahead of teammate Demi Vollering, from the Netherlands, in the overall standings.
“I had great support from Demi,” said Reusser.
“And for the last thirty kilometres it was just head down and full throttle. I still can’t really believe that it actually worked.”
The European time trial champion added: “I rank this win high next to all the other wins. I can’t say where yet, but it’s super nice.”
The four-stage event in Switzerland concluded in Ebnat-Kappel and Reusser is the first Swiss winner.
New Zealand’s Niamh Fisher-Black won the final stage, claiming her first World Tour stage victory at the age of 22.
Fisher-Black finished just a second ahead of Poland’s Katarzyna Niewiadoma.
