Lotte Kopecky showed that she is again in excellent form in the UAE Tour, a form that she will also try to capitalize on on Saturday in De Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
The world champion will defend her title from last year there, although she will have to do without teammate Marlen Reusser on Saturday, also a candidate winner for Saturday and also a perfect distraction for Kopecky.
But the Swiss will not be able to participate. She announced on Instagram that she was ill. “No opening weekend for me, viruses, you are insufferable,” her message reads.
