She placed 4th in the national championships last Sunday and secured 2nd place in the CIC Mont-Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge. "We have a very complementary team. I am convinced that we can both aim for a good place in the overall classification and fight for opportunities and stage victories. Personally, I hope to be in the places of honor in the general classification but we know that everything can go very fast in a big Tour. There is a very good atmosphere in the team and even if we can still improve, we all help each other and fight for each other. We are on the right track! “ said Koppenburg

She will be supported by her experienced teammates Rachel Neylan and Sandra Leverenz. In the sprint stages, Italian Martina Alzini, Victoire Berteau and Olivia Onesti will try to do well. With a combination of experience and youth Team Cofidis seems well equipped for the tour
