The battle between Kopecky and Vollering in the Strade Bianche continues to cause discussion. What happened afterwards, in particular, surprised many people.
Kopecky and Vollering did not know who had won after the meet and were also far apart. It took them a long time to know who won in the end and Vollering was very emotional when she didn’t know she took the win.
“I know you are a killer, but we could have celebrated this together?” Vollering said to Kopecky, among others. “You are a teammate through thick and thin, I wouldn’t do it like that,” she said at the NOS.

Dirk De Wolf heard the fragment in the podcast Cycling Club Wattage and was very critical of Vollering. “Den bleiter, I call her. Do you know why? If Lotte didn’t drive there, to the ‘bleiterke’, she was still driving around behind that American (Falkner, ed.).”
“Lotte drove twice as fast as her. Perhaps they should have agreed better for the sprint, but Lotte did not sprint. They can almost go through the same door, but it will still be tense.”
