'For me it was perfect' – Marlen Reusser profits from Demi Vollering breakaway and post-injury strength to grab Dwars door Vlaanderen victory

Marlen Reusser (SD Worx) claimed a dominant solo victory at Dwars door Vlaanderen, capitalising on a tactical masterclass from her team. The Swiss rider launched a decisive attack with 10km remaining, pulling away from a reduced lead group after teammate Demi Vollering had initiated the initial split on the Berg Ten Houte. Reusser crossed the line 43 seconds ahead of teammate Demi Vollering, securing a resounding 1-2 finish for SD Worx.

This victory is significant for several reasons. Reusser, still recovering from a concussion sustained at Strade Bianche, demonstrated remarkable resilience and form, proving her early season promise was no fluke. For SD Worx, it’s another powerful statement of their spring classics dominance, showcasing their unparalleled strength in depth and tactical acumen. Vollering’s selfless work to set up Reusser, rather than chasing personal glory, highlights the team-first mentality that continues to deliver results, leaving rivals scrambling for answers.

Another race, another SD Worx masterclass. One might almost feel sorry for the rest of the peloton, if they weren't so consistently outmaneuvered.
