Lotte Kopecky has done it all so this season. She won the Tour of Flanders for the second year in a row and held the Tour de France maillot jaune for six stages before coming second overall to teammate Demi Vollering.
With her outstanding performance on the 'hellingen' of Flanders and the Pyrenees, she's shown a versatility matched only by compatriot Wout van Aert. As Van Aert did last week, Kopecky heads into Sunday's road race at the UCI Road World Championships with confidence in her status as favourite.
