Reusser beats Vollering to Tour de Suisse title with solo stage 4 victory
The women's Tour de Suisse enjoyed a dramatic finale in and around Küssnacht on Sunday's stage 4. The GC was finely poised at the start, with stage 1 winner Marlen Reusser (Movistar) still holding the race lead, though by only three seconds over former teammate and new rival Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez), who had won every stage race she'd started in 2025 before arriving in Switzerland.
Attacks flew throughout the 129.4-kilometre stage, but everything was neutralised in time for the last ascent of the Michaelskreuz climb (3 km at 9.1%) 15 km from the line. Reusser forced a selection on the biting gradients, taking many of the GC contenders over the crest with her, but when the Swiss TT powerhouse lit it up again nine kilometres out, there was no response. Vollering and third-overall Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) eventually went off in pursuit, but it was too late.
Reusser crossed the line in Küssnacht 28 seconds ahead of the chasing duo, with Niewiadoma taking second and Vollering third, meaning Reusser also won overall by a 36-second margin over the Dutch rider, with Niewiadoma third, 1:56 down.
