She secured victory in the fourth stage of the
Tour de France Femmes, but in the sixth stage, she was injured and had to abandon the tour. The rider says she has since recovered from the injury, and it won’t be a problem in the championships. "My preparation for this European Championship was far from optimal, but since I can train again, I train really hard. The upcoming European Championship is a new challenge and I know it will be tough, but I'm looking forward to defending my title. To finish with a metaphor: there is a mountain coming and I want to climb it successfully," concluded Reusser.
