Marlen Reusser, a Swiss cyclist, won the European Championships time trial event on Wednesday in Slovenia, completing a 22.1-kilometer course in 31 minutes 30 seconds. The race took place on a hilly route around Šenčur, where Reusser maintained an average speed of nearly 40 kilometers per hour. She finished ahead of Demi Vollering of the Netherlands, who was 23 seconds behind, and Juliette Berthet of France, who took bronze, finishing 1 minute 10 seconds behind Reusser. This victory marked Reusser's fifth European time trial title, adding to her previous wins in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025. The race began with Vollering showing strong early pace, even taking a minute off Franziska Koch of Germany, who finished 11th. However, Reusser quickly regained control, establishing an 11-second lead over Vollering by the second checkpoint and maintaining her advantage until the finish. Berthet surprised many by securing third place, with a strong second half of the race helping her beat Elisa Longo Borghini by over a minute and 16 seconds. Other notable performances included Dominika Włodarczyk, who finished fifth, and Cédrine Kerbao, another French cyclist, who placed sixth, 1 minute 59 seconds behind Reusser. Kerbao was unable to challenge for the podium despite her strong showing. Reusser's win in Slovenia came just days after she claimed the world time trial title, continuing her dominance in the discipline. This victory cements Reusser's status as one of the top time trialists in the world. With five European titles and a recent world championship win, she has solidified her reputation as a consistent performer in the event. The competition highlighted both her strategic pacing and the strong performances of her rivals, particularly Berthet, whose bronze medal was a notable achievement.
