  "account": "Demi Vollering, a former Tour winner, praised Marlen Reusser's performance in the first climbing test of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes. Reusser, who won the stage, maintained her yellow jersey and extended her lead in the General Classification. Despite losing momentum at the finish, Reusser expressed happiness with her day and her position in the race. Her former teammate Vollering and fellow rider Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney also commended Reusser's clever racing and bravery in attacking. Vollering believes Reusser has a bright future in the Tour, while acknowledging the challenge ahead. The Swiss rider remains humble, recognizing the difficulty of clawing back lost time in upcoming mountain stages, particularly the grueling Mont Ventoux.",
