World champion and two-time Tour of Flanders winner Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) picked out defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) as her key rival on Sunday.
As well as name-checking the Italian, Kopecky was balanced about her own chances in De Ronde, motivated but honest about the different preparation she's had this year, with other goals further down the line.
