Crashing in the final 25km of the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes might usually be a reason to panic for a rider hoping to target the GC, but there was no drama and indeed no time loss for Marlen Reusser when that happened to her on the road to Lausanne.
On a tense day that saw several crashes, Reusser was the most high-profile name to be involved in an incident when her Movistar teammate Arlenis Sierra came down in a corner, with the Swiss rider tumbling over her.
