Marlen Reusser (Movistar) and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM) lost any slim chance they had at chasing down solo stage-winner Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE ADQ) on stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse Women by missing a turn and riding the wrong way in the final 4km.

"You go full gas, so it's not like you have time to be like 'Oh what's happening now?', it's just like you go full," said Niewiadoma-Phinney, explaining the incident to CyclingProNet at the finish.
