Lotte Kopecky sprints to second place after colouring course in Omloop Het Nieuwblad

Lotte Kopecky sprinted to second place in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The world champion accelerated on the Muur and the Bosberg, reducing the leading group to four riders, a Lidl-Trek duo (Elisa Longo-Borghini & Shirin Van Anrooij) and Marianne Vos. Lidl-Trek alternately attacked, after which Kopecky invariably responded to the counters. In the sprint, the world champion was second after Marianne Vos. "I did everything I could and rode quite a good race, but Marianne was just faster in the end," said an honest Kopecky.
