21 things you didn’t know about Lotte Kopecky

Lotte Kopecky has been hard to miss this past couple of seasons. Partly because often as not you’ll see her around the front of any race she rides, and partly because she has been wearing the rainbow bands of world champion.

Her palmarès is shot through with major victories, especially in the biggest one-day races but also in stage races too: Paris-Roubaix Femmes, the Tour of Flanders and Strade Bianche – she has ticked them all off and many more besides.
