Lotte Kopecky aims to bounce back at Strade Bianche after a tough start to the season at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The Belgian former world champion faces stiff competition, including former teammate Demi Vollering, alongside stars like Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Elisa Longo Borghini, and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney. Kopecky, who previously won at Omloop, suffered a setback when a crash forced her into a bike change, resulting in a 39th-place finish. She expresses confidence, stating, “Every top rider is on the starting line, so it's going to be incredibly tough. If you can still win, it makes it even more special.” With 133km and 11 challenging sterrato sectors ahead, Kopecky’s focus is on overcoming bad luck and showcasing her abilities in the iconic Tuscan hills.
