Is there anything Lotte Kopecky can't do? A star of the Omnium on the track, a Classics specialist, a consistent threat in the sprints and now a mountain top winner after stage 3 of the 2024 UAE Tour Women.
“This is my first mountain victory ever. It’s crazy to win this one," said a shocked Team SD Worx - Protime leader in her post-stage interview, having fought her back up to Neve Bradbury on a thrilling final climb, before out-pacing her rival in the sprint to the line.
"I was very motivated beforehand and wanted to see how far I could get. Of course I wanted this and hoped that I could win the stage. I thought about it, but doing it is very good for self-confidence," says Kopecky who had previously shown her climbing legs in finishing second overall at the Tour de France Femmes in 2023.
"I really tried to look at it metre by metre. Your legs always hurt on this climb. It could be over in thirty seconds," she concludes. "You can blow yourself up. When Bradbury went I panicked, but I was able to come back. When I got her back, I had the confidence back that I could win. Of course this gives confidence. The classic spring is very important. This is good for confidence. The shape is good. This is a very important part of the preparation and I hope to improve further."

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
