Tour De France Femmes 2023 Stage 1: Lotte Kopecky sets pace
Posted : 23 July 2023
Lotte Kopecky of SD Worx claimed the yellow jersey with an impressive solo triumph on Stage 1 of the 2023 Tour de France Femmes. The peloton faced a challenging moment on the only categorized climb of the day, the Cat. 3 Cote de Durtol.
Kopecky seized the opportunity and launched herself off the front with 9km remaining, quickly creating a gap between her and the chasing riders.
Despite a large group forming behind her, they failed to cooperate effectively, allowing Kopecky to extend her lead on the way back to Clermont-Ferrand. In the end, she crossed the finish line with over 40 seconds ahead of the bunch.
Lorena Wiebes, also from SD Worx, secured a fantastic one-two for the team by comfortably winning the sprint among the chasers.
