Stage 2 of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas was a day to forget for SD Worx-Protime as their GC contender, world champion Lotte Kopecky, was held up by a crash with 30km to go and ended up losing a lot of time, putting her out of the fight for a good GC result.
"This was a bad day. Until the crash, there seemed to be no problem. Lotte narrowly avoided a crash herself, but she was held up. That was the signal for some teams to go all-out. We did what we could in the chase, but with about four riders you can't compete with an unleashed peloton," sports director Christian Kos did not sugar-coat the events.
