The battle for the overall title of the Tour de Suisse Women continues as a two-horse race between race leader Marlen Reusser (Movistar) and Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) heading into the final two stages, with the duo's rivalry getting tetchy as the race progresses.
Reusser and Vollering escaped with a long-range attack on stage 1 to go well clear of their prospective GC rivals, with the Swiss woman taking the stage win with Vollering missing out in the two-up sprint and saying afterwards that her rival "could give a bit extra" in sharing the workload.
