It hadn’t been the easiest of seasons for New Zealand’s Niamh Fisher-Black, with a series of crashes as well as an ill-timed team car barrage at the Vuelta a Feminina dousing her chances, but the 22 year old’s return to racing at the Tour de Suisse Women has turned that around.
In stage 4 on Tuesday the SD Worx rider sprinted to her first ever Women’s WorldTour victory, overhauling fellow break rider Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) as the pair crossed the line more than 30 seconds ahead of Fisher-Black’s teammate and overall Tour de Suisse Women victor Marlen Reusser.
