Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) doubled up at the Tour of Britain Women, winning stage 2 in a sprint of two riders against Anna Henderson (Great Britain). Kopecky’s teammate Lorena Wiebes won the sprint of a reduced peloton for third place.

On Horseshoe Pass, Kopecky attacked 1km from the top and Henderson was the only rider able to hold the GC leader’s wheel. They built a 40-second gap on the rolling terrain after the climb, and although Liv-AlUla-Jayco and DSM-Firmenich PostNL organised the chase in the group behind, the two leaders came onto the finishing straight with 20 seconds in hand.
