Tour of Flanders was a disaster for SD Worx - Protime. Not only did the Dutch team fail to put themselves in the fight for victory, they have lost one of their leaders, the three-time European time trial champion
Marlen Reusser in a nasty crash that will see her sidelined for some time.
Reusser went down in early phases of the race, after some 10 kilometers of racing. "A rider crashed in front of me and I had no chance to avoid her," she explained in press release. An initial examination in the hospital in Belgium revealed a fracture to her right jaw.
