Lotte Kopecky's rise in professional cycling and success over the last three seasons has had a notable impact on the rise of junior women, U17 (15-16 years old) and U19 (17-18 years old), registering for a licence at the Cycling Vlaanderen federation.
According to Anne-Laure Gheerardyn, Women's Cycling Coordinator at Cycling Vlaanderen, the number of women who are 18 years old or younger has increased nearly four times the amount during the last three seasons, a total expected to rise again in 2023.
