Team SD Worx's team manager, Danny Stam has confirmed that one of the biggest stars in the women's peloton, Lotte Kopecky, will not ride the upcoming Giro d'Italia Donne.
Speaking to Het Laatste Nieuws, it was confirmed that Kopecky would not ride the race. Still on the cards for the 27-year-old Belgian is the Tour de France Femmes, as was recently reiterated by Stam. As part of her preparation, Kopecky even recently competed in a men's junior race in Belgium, finishing 22nd on the day and bringing record-breaking crowds to the race.
As far as the Giro d'Italia Donne goes, there is some very real concern in the cycling world whether or not the race will even take place at all. The race is currently unable to gain a TV broadcast for the event and this may indeed lead to the cancellation of the race.
