Marlen Reusser readies for fourth Tour de France Femmes

Swiss world‑champion Marlen Reusser is preparing for her fourth appearance at the Tour de France Femmes, aiming to build on her recent successes. She trained for three weeks at altitude in the mountains of Andorra after recovering from two vertebral fractures sustained in a crash at the Tour of Flanders, and she finished 13th in the Giro d’Italia. Reusser previously won the final mountain stage and the overall classification of the Tour de Suisse, and she expects her preparation to put her in a strong position for the upcoming race, although she acknowledges some remaining uncertainty about her form.
