For a team as dominant as SD Worx, anything less than a victory probably feels like a disappointment, and that is precisely how yellow jersey Lotte Kopecky felt about suffering a puncture and finishing second in the uphill sprint into Mauriac on stage 2 at the Tour de France Femmes.
"I didn't start [my sprint] too early. Once I started, however, I didn't feel like I had grip in my back wheel," Kopecky told the press that she was surprised to see that the tire in her back wheel was flat after she crossed the line.
