Reusser outkicks Vollering in a decisive opening stage of the Tour de Suisse
Stage 1 of the Tour de Suisse Women seemed unlikely to have big GC implications, but Marlen Reusser (Movistar) and Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) had other ideas. Reusser went clear shortly after summitting the Cat. 1 Jaunpass climb and Vollering linked up with her, and from there the pair worked together for more than an hour to build up a serious advantage to a small chasing group.
Reusser bested Vollering at the line, and now both riders sit well ahead of the rest of the field. Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto) took third on the day, 1:42 behind Reusser, and Niamh Fisher-Black (Lidl-Trek) and Urška Žigart (AG Insurance-Soudal) were the only other riders within two minutes of the leaders.
