Reusser takes yellow but leads Vollering by just 14 seconds as mountains loom

Marlen Reusser won the 21km stage-four time trial in 27:30 and took the yellow jersey at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes. But Demi Vollering finished only 18 seconds back, leaving her 14 seconds adrift overall. With hilly stage five — 140km Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais — next, the climbers get their terrain. Reusser's power against the clock may not be enough.
