After claiming two world titles on the track at the combined UCI Cycling World Championships, Belgian Lotte Kopecky heads into Sunday's elite women's road race as the odds-on favourite to take the rainbow jersey.
The double Belgian champion won the Tour of Flanders for the second year in a row this season as well as the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes with a powerful solo attack on a short, steep climb. She also wore the maillot jaune for six stages and finished second to trade teammate Demi Vollering in the overall standings.
