Glasgow Worlds: No Madison defence for Kopecky after partner Bossuyt's positive

Lotte Kopecky catapulting Belgian teammate Shari Bossuyt into a relay swap at the Track Nations Cup round 3 in Canada

Lotte Kopecky will revise her rainbow-jersey ambitions on the track at the upcoming Glasgow World Championships, removing the Madison from her competition line-up for the foreseeable future after her event partner Shari Bossuyt returned a positive test for the banned substance Letrozole in March.

Kopecky spoke with Cyclingnews at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Clermont-Ferrand before the race began, revealing that she will focus on the Elimination Race, Points Race, and Omnium on the track and then the elite women's road race at the first-ever combined World Championships held from August 3-13.
