Lotte Kopecky, the reigning world champion, is restructuring her season to ensure optimal preparation for the Tour de France Femmes while still maintaining her commitment to the Spring Classics. Despite losing Demi Vollering to rival FDJ-SUEZ, her team, SD Worx-Protime, gains support from cycling legend Anna van der Breggen. Kopecky, who has already showcased her climbing skills in previous tours, emphasizes her determination to balance her Classics passion while aiming high in the Grand Tours, emphasizing her multifaceted talent and competitive spirit.
"I like the Classics, that is for sure. But I came second, twice, in the Grand Tours without really having any proper, or specific, preparation for them. Of course, I am curious to see how far I can go - so we will make it a goal."
"I will finish the Classics season and I'll try to have the best possible preparation for the Tour de France."
"I never give up the Spring Classics for the GC," Kopecky said, confirming her commitment to start her season at Milan-San Remo.
