Tour de Suisse Women: Reusser secures overall title as teammate Fischer-Black scores stage 4 victory

Marlen Reusser (Team SD Worx) won the overall title of the Tour de Suisse Women on Tuesday while her teammate Niamh Fisher-Black scored the sprint victory for stage 4.

Reusser fought to defend her yellow jersey on the final stage as Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) went on a 50-kilometre long-range attack and took the virtual lead. Reusser went on a solo chase while Fisher-Black stayed with Niewiadoma.

Fisher-Black outsprinted Niewiadoma to win the final stage, while Reusser reduced the deficit enough with a third-place finish on the stage to defend her GC lead.

Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx) won the sprint of a small group to finish fourth on the day and second overall. Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) had worked hard to reduce the gap to Niewiadoma and succeeded in defending her third place in GC by seven seconds.
