Having won on the opening stage of the Tour de Suisse Women, Demi Vollering made it two in a row, winning the stage 2 mountain time trial on the same final climb to Villars-sur-Ollon where she took the victory on stage 1.
The SD Worx-Protime rider produced yet another impressive performance to put even more time into all of her rivals in the overall standings. Vollering now leads the general classification by nearly a minute and a half over Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek), who finished 18 seconds down in second place on the stage.
Vollering did not have it all her own way during the time trial though, as she was down at both of the intermediate splits. However, she increased her effort on the latter half of the climb, overturning her deficit and showing the dominance that she displayed on the same climb on the opening stage.
