Lotte Kopecky Holds Up Crash then Fixes Loose Stem | Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift 2024 

She looks like a super hero.

And no gloves💪🏼

Balsamo was world champion on track a couple of years ago, and Vos was world and Olympic champion on track some years ago.

Kopecky actually somewhat did everything 'wrong' on the track. She was enclosed on the inside. It's only because she did an extremely strong final sprint (while making extra distance by overtaking the others on the outside of the corner) that she won. So her track background certainly wasn't that huge in her taking the win. He strength that day however was.

Don't forget that track is 500m long. That's double the usual Olympic 250m track. So that's why they are all sprinting from halfway in the last curve, which is 150m to go.

Yeah, and it's 100m longer than an athletics track yet it doesn't look that way on TV. I think Kopecky won this time because it's such a hard race and she was the one who had the most 'left in the tank'.

Yes I agree. I've watched cycling for years but I have to admit I didn't like watching the women's races much to start with. But the last 3-4 yrs has changed that. It's been interesting getting to know who's who in what team etc. Some great riders and racing. 🙂

I've watched a lot of women's cycling and even then there's usually a lot more unknowns than in men's cycling. The sport has changed immensely in the past 3 years or so. There's always new kids ready to become the next big thing. On top of that, there's less races and the middle of the pack riders don't get a lot of action, so when they finally get their moment it can be really exciting.

I don't really agree. I think tactics are a huuuuge part of cycling. Maybe less in one-day races but defo in stage races.

The German ones assumed that part of her electric gears failed

@@TheCraddingGuy maybe because of the huge gear she was using in that phase of the race; but that's just her characteristic...

Pt as well

@@sergiodemichele6295well, German commentators often miss the actual point 😂 but well, let’s head over to geschke who is 25min behind 🤣

Ouch! What a put down.

get a f clue, it was the stem's face plate she was tightening.

@@seanmccuen6970 Jeez bro. It's just a yt comment. lol

@@TheLemon333 have some f'n standards at least bro, basic terminology matters.

@@seanmccuen6970 Ya know how when we get older and look back at what we used to think was a big deal.

Unless Pidcock is there and he will be in Roubaix 🤔😅

Yes, at 1min 28sec we can se her pushing the bars back up

Interesting. I did not manage to watch the race and so just saw the highlights but thought Vos looked incredibly strong and focused. Bummed for her as she is my favourite rider. But well done Lotte Kopecky!

The focus is on the winner. In the race, Vos seemed to be controlling while Kopecky seemed to be the one frantically attacking, hoping to get rid of Vos so she wouldn't have to sprint as Vos seemed to be the most explosive. But in the end, Kopecky's attacks seems to have softened Vos a bit. And other riders didn't attack Kopecky simply because Kopecky was the one attacking and putting pressure on everyone. Only Vos seemed to be able to respond well to Kopecky's attacks.

the ÏFś"are only wishes. They are NO reallity !!!!

Every race they make it so easy for SD Worx. It's getting boring to watch.

Yeah agreed, why don't they just drop Vos and Kopecky. Only the goat and WChamps, should be easy.

​@@LukeGJPotterdid you see RVV?

@@jonasvandijk4210 Did you see Strade, or any race that ends in a Sprint?

@@LukeGJPotter did you see Omloop het Nieuwsblad, dwars door Vlaanderen, Brugge de Panne, Trofeo Alfredo Binda

Let’s face it, every cyclist - man or woman - that dominates will be called a juicer. Yet every sport has its dominant athlete. Someone has to be the best.

No, it's mostly nutrition and better metabolics/gut science... ;)

@@dcataj5085 i dont know about this one, you cant be that far a head of everyone else, attacking solo like 8 times in a row and winning

@@aimo4thewin619 She is not that far ahead from everyone else... She literally came up short in the Flanders classic last week.
