Back-to-Back World Champion

For any professional cyclist, wearing the iconic rainbow stripes of the world champion is the ultimate dream. To do it two years in a row—beating the very best in the world—is something truly extraordinary.

Lotte Kopecky is one of the most powerful and versatile riders in the peloton, with a glittering list of achievements on both road and track, at World Championship and Olympic level. A true Belgian icon, she’s captured the hearts of her nation—not least by winning the Ronde van Vlaanderen, Belgium’s most revered race, an incredible three times.

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.
