Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) powered to her first victory in 2024 after stealing a march on the downhill run to the line in La Vall d’Uixó on stage 2 of the Setmana Ciclista Volta Femenina de la Comunitat Valenciana.
The Swiss time trial specialist employed all of her power on the flat and aerodynamic prowess to stay away from the chasing group of favourites that she attacked with 5.9km left to race.
Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) easily won the sprint behind, but, having missed Reusser’s move off the front of the leading group, she was forced to settle for second for the second time in as many days.
Evita Muzic (Groupama-FDJ) was third.Yesterday’s stage winner Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) fell out of the race lead after being dropped inside the final 30km on the penultimate climb.
Reusser heads into tomorrow’s queen stage with the orange leader’s jersey.
