The Swiss Marlen Reusser won the fourth stage of the Tour de France Women alone on Wednesday July 27 in Bar-sur-Aube where the Dutch Marianne Vos kept her yellow jersey without worry. Marlen Reusser, specialist in the time trial, Olympic vice-champion in Tokyo, took advantage of a moment of hesitation about twenty kilometers from the finish to start alone in the lead. The French Evita Muzic took second place by settling the sprint among three pursuers. The champagne vine paths have made pschitt among the favorites. The 12.9 kilometers of chalky paths sown on the route of this fourth stage between Troyes and Bar-sur-Aube did not give rise to any major movements. “ When Reusser attacked she was very strong and we knew we couldn’t run after all », recognized Marianne Vos. The longest day awaits the runners on Thursday with 175.6 km to cover between Bar-le-Duc and Saint-Dié-des-Vosges for four and a half hours of effort.
