World champion Lotte Kopecky is preparing for Liège-Bastogne-Liège, looking to add the Ardennes Monument to her achievements after winning the Tour of Flanders. Despite an underwhelming 38th finish last year, Kopecky expresses confidence going into the race, feeling free from pressure thanks to her prior success this season. Trained by the successful SD Worx-Protime team, which has a strong track record in this event, she feels her recent form will support her ambitions for a top performance on Sunday.
"The fact that I already have a win in the Tour of Flanders in my pocket gives me peace of mind. For me, that is the best possible starting position."
"If I had not won anything so far, the pressure would have been a lot higher. But with the Tour of Flanders, I already have a Monument in my pocket, so that gives confidence."
