Let's all suffer for the head woman. The Belgian team has contributed to the success of Lotte Kopecky. The pride is therefore enormous after the party in front of and on stage. She proves once again that it is worth riding for her.
"We knew that Lotte Kopecky had a big chance at the world title, but all the other favorites knew that too. So it wasn't easy today," Marthe Goossens opens the story of the Belgian team. "But physically and mentally she is so strong."
"We had to rise above ourselves," Marthe Truyen continues. "We all tried to contribute, but she had to do it herself in the end."
The last Belgian who contributed to the world title was Justine Ghekiere. "When I noticed that I was the only one left with Lotte, I did everything I could to stay there. I came back a few times and died a few times," Ghekiere laughs. "It was really on the limit. The fact that I was then told by the public that Lotte was world champion gave me goosebumps."
