Marlen Reusser (Movistar) has had a rough end of the Tour de France Femmes this year. Since losing her Maillot Jaune on the climb up to the summit of Mont Ventoux, she has been slowly losing time in the general classification. Today, on her second descent of Col d'Eze she crashed on a corner coming out of one of the many tunnels on today's course. She took some time getting back on her bike, but she did. She was with one of her teammates when she crashed but more joined her as they made their way back down into Nice. She was escorted by back into town by Francesca Barale, Ana Vitoria Magalhaes, Liane Lippert and Paula Ostiz. She could have easily climbed off her bike once back to the start/finish line, but no, she and her team did the two remaining laps together. They all came in twenty-five minutes after the stage winner, but she certainly earned even more respect today. And she paid respect to the Tour de France Femmes as well.
