For the first time in her career,
Lotte Kopecky has tasted victory at
Paris-Roubaix Femmes, securing a long-term goal in the career of the current world champion in the process.
“This was the goal of the season. To do this is very nice,” reflects the
Team SD Worx - Protime leader in her immediate interview after the victory. “How much confidence the team gave me... They've been doing that all season, but especially this week my teammates tried to make me smile. They really believed I could win and they did a great job in the race. The fact that Lorena Wiebes was in the second group was perhaps the key for me.”
