"She's just dominant in everything at the moment" - Adam Blythe in awe of Lotte Kopecky's well rounded qualities
CyclingSunday, 11 February 2024 at 19:00
Starting the season in much the same way as she left off at the end of 2023, Lotte Kopecky secured the overall victory at the 2024 UAE Tour Women on Sunday. One day after her stunning mountain-top win on Jebel Hafeet.
"She's the best!" said Eurosport analyst Adam Blythe of the women's world champion, as part of The Breakaway's post-race analysis. "She showed how good she is yesterday didn't she on that climb. She was just unbelievable."
Kopecky's list of achievements now includes victories on the track, in the sprint, in the classics, against the clock and after Saturday, on the top of mountains. Whilst many were somewhat surprised by the climbing legs shown by the Belgian, Blythe never had any doubts.
"I picked her. I said when we were talking about it in the makeup room, that she was incredible in the Tour last year and it wouldn't surprise me if she'd built on that already," he explains. "The Strava times... they went 43 seconds quicker up there this year. Obviously wind conditions play a part but it just shows that every year the level is going up and up. She's just dominant in everything at the moment."

- He would still be faster on the course riding his cyclocross bike than in his Lambo!Pogboom28-12-2024
- i love the spirit of any of these younger guys who will say out loud I WANT TO TRY TO FOLLOW MATHIEU. they know plenty well what that means. vanthourenhout, eli, lars and company have kinda been beaten into submission by years trying and failing to keep up with mvdp. i feel for them, seriously. but it’s great to see younger riders show up and take their turn, full of hope.OCexile28-12-2024
- The nice thing about World Tour cycling is it never goes the way you think it ill, haha. Tadej breaking away so far out in the Worlds? Remco doubling up in Paris?
ScottG27-12-2024 - Pretty classy comments by Jonas. Makes me like him even more.ScottG27-12-2024
- MVDP is simply a cross "machine" - amazing to watch.ScottG27-12-2024
- yes, Jonas said that he had lost a little muscle mass. In the other hand, also Tadej changed his physique: thin, more lighter than ever, legs and glutes well defined (finally, no more junior legs). Both were more lighter than ever but Pogi could put more muscle in legs and glutes.
maria2024202427-12-2024 - He can keep contending for Vuelta podium spots. A lot would need to go wrong for others and everything right for him to get on the Giro podium. He'll only be on the TdF podium if he's becomes a podium presenter.Veganpotter27-12-2024
- I like that, mind if I use it from now on? Better than using his name which always gets me worried about Google hits and giving him the excuse he was bound to behave the way he did from the derived verb.Mistermaumau27-12-2024

- Their battles are only interesting or special when both are in good shape and unfortunately it’s been a few years since that was last the case, road cycling tends to put an end to most side careers, MVDP still being a rare exception.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
