The world time-trial champion, Marlen Reusser, took the overall lead in the Tour de France Femmes after winning the fourth stage from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon.

It was the 34-year-old Swiss rider’s third career win in the Tour and lifted her into a commanding lead over the defending champion, Pauline ­Ferrand-Prévot.
