SD Worx-Protime is sending its top racers, including Lotte Kopecky and Anna van der Breggen, to compete in the Giro d'Italia Women starting July 6. While Kopecky, who finished second in last year's Giro, uses this race for Tour de France Femmes preparation, the team emphasizes building her confidence over focusing on overall classification. Van der Breggen, returning after her retirement season, will also prioritize supporting Kopecky, having recently gained confidence from her performance at the Vuelta Femenina. Overall, the Giro serves as a strategic step towards their main goal: the Tour de France Femmes.
Lotte Kopecky will ride the Giro d'Italia in preparation for the Tour de France Femmes. The overall classification in France is her main goal.
The Giro is a great race on the way to peak form in the Tour. In Italy, we will not put any pressure on Lotte to perform in the general classification.
Anna van der Breggen has gained a lot of confidence with her third place and stage win in the Vuelta a España Feminina.
In the Giro, she may have some cautious ambitions for the general classification, although the Giro is also preparation for the Tour de France Femmes for her.
