Lotte Kopecky is having a brilliant year so far, dominating in the Spring Classics, arguably the performance of her career to finish second at the Tour de France Femmes and now successfully defending her Elimination Race world title in Glasgow.
"I felt good and it's nice to start the World Cup like that," she modestly told Sporza post-race where she beat Frenchwoman Valentine Fortin in the final sprint. "I read the race well. If you make the right decisions at the right times, you will get very far in the elimination."
