Lotte Kopecky to support Demi Vollering in Flèche Wallonne defence

SDWorx-Protime sports director Anna van der Breggen has confirmed that defending champion Demi Vollering will be their squad’s main contender for Flèche Wallonne and that teammate and World Champion Lotte Kopecky will make her debut in Wednesday’s mid-week Classic as a support rider. 

A seven-times winner and record holder in the Flèche Wallonne herself, Van der Breggen pointed out in a press release Tuesday that Vollering “is always good in the Flèche Wallonne and is our only leading lady in this Classic.”
