Lotte Kopecky

Belgium / Team SD Worx – Protime

“My Tarmac SL8, need I say any more? I’ve had the privilege to ride many different Specialized bikes over the years, they just make you want to race!”

Champion of cobbles, rainbows and velodromes

Lotte Kopecky is one of the most powerful and versatile riders in the peloton, boasting an incredible list of achievements on both road and track, including World Championship and Olympic-level success. A true Belgian icon, she has captured the hearts of her entire nation.

Equally dominant over cobblestones, gravel, and mountain passes, her all-around brilliance is reflected in an enviable palmarès. Raised on the fierce and unforgiving circuits of Belgian racing, Lotte is the definition of a born racer, because if you can thrive in Belgium, you can thrive anywhere.

For any professional cyclist, wearing the iconic rainbow stripes of the World Champion is the ultimate dream. Lotte realized this dream, and a major 2025 highlight was securing her third victory at the Tour of Flanders while wearing those stripes, the type of victory a young, aspiring Belgian cyclists dream of.
