'I knew that I had fast legs' – Lotte Kopecky wins Milan-San Remo Donne in a reduced sprint after late move on the Poggio

Lotte Kopecky celebrates her victory at Milan-San Remo Donne 2026.

After claiming her first win of the season at Nokere Koerse earlier in the week, Lotte Kopecky emerged victorious once again at Milan-San Remo Donne, as she produced a powerful sprint to win from a five-rider group that had gone clear on the Poggio in the final kilometres of the race.

The SD Worx-Protime rider had followed a move by Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) towards the top of the final climb, which also dragged Noemi Rüegg (EF Education-Oatly) Eleonora Gasparrini (UAE Team ADQ) and Dominika Włodarczyk (UAE Team ADQ) clear of the main group.
