Marlen Reusser powered to time trial victory on stage four of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Dijon on Tuesday, and moved into the yellow jersey.
The Movistar rider, time trial world champion, was the overwhelming favourite for the race against the clock, but she only pipped Lieke Nooijen (Visma-Lease a Bike) by four seconds.
On a blazing day in Burgundy, there was a lot of movement on general classification. The race leader after stage three, Sigrid Haugset (Uno-X Mobility), was replaced by Reusser after losing X to the winner, while Reusser’s GC rivals Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez), Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team L’IMAD) all lost varying amounts of time.
