Marlen Reusser’s Tour de France Femmes went from bad to worse on the final stage in Nice, with the Movistar leader crashing on the first descent from the Col d’Èze after being dropped by the yellow jersey group.

Reusser took a long time getting up after her fall, but resumed riding surrounded by her teammates but was over six minutes behind the lead group at the start of the second lap.
