Le Chrono des Nations Women was the last time Marlen Reusser would be lining up to compete with Alé BTC Ljubljana and she delivered one last victory for the Italian squad, which will next year be taken over by UAE Team Emirates.

The European Champion, who is heading to SD Worx next year after one season with the Italian team, took a clear win in the 25 kilometre 1.1 classified time trial at the French race. Reusser beat Olympic road race champion Anna Kiesenhofer and Mieke Kröger (Team Coop Hitec Products), who came in on the same time, by 52 seconds.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
