Race Recap
Reusser wins stage 2
Marlen Reusser (SDW) took home top honors on stage 2 of the women's Tour de France after storming through the 35.7km time trial outpacing SD Worx teammate Demi Vollering by eight seconds and Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) by 16 seconds.
"I have been dreaming of this race for a long time, and of course I was dreaming of winning this ITT and taking the yellow. It's a brutal discipline, during the race I was thinking … I cannot say it here, you need to bleep, but I am really happy that I won in the end," said Reusser.
"I have to be honest, I was thinking, I don't win it, because I heard Longo Borghini is so close," she said. "I would say she is the best downhiller we have in the peloton, and I knew that the technical part is coming up.
"I thought she was going to make it, especially because today, with what happened, I didn't go 100% or was not in a good flow for these dangerous corners. So I understood that maybe I wouldn't win, I was okay with that, but I made it, and I'm so happy about that," Reusser added.
