Numbers, curiosities and statistics help us re-read and deepen what we experienced in yesterday's stage and over the last three weeks. Follow us:

1: THE RAINBOW JERSEY FINALLY FINDS THE PATH TO GLORY
By winning the 21-kilometer individual time trial between Gevrey-Chambertin and Dijon at an average speed of 45.818 km/h, Marlen Reusser became the first reigning world champion to win a stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Whether it's a time trial or road stages, it took thirty-seven stages to see the rainbow jersey on the top step of the podium. Until now, the best result for a world champion had been Elisa Balsamo's second place in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in 2022.

3: SWISS TRIPLE
With her victory in Dijon, Marlen Reusser claimed her third stage win of her career at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The Swiss cyclist, who also secured her fifth victory in this race for the Movistar team, had previously triumphed in Bar-sur-Aube in 2022 and Pau in 2023. She is also the only Swiss cyclist to have achieved a road victory in France.

3: EXCEPTIONAL EFFICIENCY
With Tuesday's victory, Marlen Reusser has now won at least one stage in three editions (2022, 2023 and 2026) of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The Swiss cyclist has secured a stage victory in every edition she has participated in, with the exception of 2025, when she was forced to withdraw before the finish line of the first stage. Only Lorena Wiebes has a better record. The Dutch sprinter has triumphed in four of five editions (winning twice in 2022, 2025 and 2026 and once in 2024). A victory this year would allow Demi Vollering and Marianne Vos to equal Reusser, as both cyclists have already won two editions each (Vollering in 2023 and 2024; Vos in 2022 and 2025).

2/3: THE TIME TRIAL QUEEN
Of the three time trials held since the return of the Tour de France Femmes in 2022, Marlen Reusser has won two: in Pau in 2023 and in Dijon this year. These are the only time trials she has participated in. The third, held on the roads of Rotterdam in 2024, was won by Demi Vollering. With this latest victory, the Swiss cyclist reaches forty professional wins, twenty of which have been achieved in time trials. She began her career in June 2017 by winning her first national title in this discipline.

4'': A HANDFUL OF SECONDS
With a gap of just four seconds between winner Marlen Reusser and second-placed Lieke Nooijen, the Dijon time trial confirms itself as the most closely contested in the history of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The previous record belonged to Demi Vollering and Chloe Dygert, separated by just five seconds at the end of the Rotterdam time trial in 2024. However, that stage measured only 6.3 kilometers, compared to yesterday's 21 kilometers. In the first time trial of the event, held in Pau in 2023, Marlen Reusser had beaten Demi Vollering by 10 seconds over a distance of 22.6 kilometers.

2'13'': FACING AN UPHILL BATTLE
After losing 2 minutes and 13 seconds to Marlen Reusser in Tuesday's time trial, the defending champion of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, will have to tackle five challenging stages to claim the Yellow Jersey. No race winner since 2022 has ever accumulated such a large gap in the general classification before securing victory. Annemiek van Vleuten had a maximum gap of 1 minute and 28 seconds from Marianne Vos. In 2023, Demi Vollering dropped Lotte Kopecky by 1 minute and 7 seconds before winning at Col du Tourmalet. The following year, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney never had a gap greater than 34 seconds from Vollering. And last year, Ferrand-Prévot recovered from Kim Le Court-Pienaar with only 26 seconds of advantage on the slopes of Col de la Madeleine.

1: SWITZERLAND CONQUERS THE YELLOW JERSEY
By claiming the Yellow Jersey of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for the first time in her career, Marlen Reusser gives Switzerland the yellow jersey for the first time. Before the Alpine country, only six nations had managed this feat: the Netherlands (nineteen times), Belgium (six times), Mauritius and Poland (four times), France (twice) and Norway (once, this Tuesday thanks to Sigrid Haugset). Reusser also finds herself leading a Grand Tour for the second time, having already held the yellow jersey for four stages at the 2025 Giro d'Italia.

12: GREEN LOOKS GOOD ON HER
Leading the points classification with a 56-point advantage over her closest rival, Lorena Wiebes wore her twelfth green jersey of her career at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. The Dutch cyclist thus equals the record held by her compatriot Marianne Vos. Since the third stage of the 2025 Tour, Wiebes has been the only cyclist to occupy the top position in this classification.
