Reigning world time trial champion Marlen Reusser dominated the Tour de France Femmes' fourth stage, an individual time trial, to seize the yellow jersey. The Swiss rider completed the 21-km route from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon in 27 minutes and 30 seconds, establishing a 14-second lead over Dutch rival Demi Vollering in the general classification.

Vollering, the former champion, finished third on the stage, four seconds behind compatriot Lieke Nooijen, who was second. Reusser's victory marked a significant achievement for the 34-year-old rider, who had targeted this Tour de France as a primary goal for her season.

Sigrid Haugset, who had worn the yellow jersey after a solo victory on Monday, struggled in the time trial. She finished more than three minutes behind Reusser, dropping to fourth place in the overall standings. The race is set to continue with a hilly 140-km stage from Macon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais.

I’m super, super happy ... it’s the first Tour de France that I really saw as my goal of the year that I really targeted
