Team SD Worx (Netherlands) - Press Release: Lotte Kopecky will ride for Team SD Worx as of 1 January 2022. The Belgian champion has signed a three-year contract with the world's best women's cycling team. "It is an enormous challenge for me to be part of the team that dominates almost all races", says the 25-year old Kopecky.

Sports manager Danny Stam had his eye on Kopecky for some time. "You can see that Lotte has made considerable steps in recent years," said Stam. "She is an all-round star who can handle increasingly tough competitions. She impressed me last spring in the Strade Bianche, where she only lost due to a puncture at a very bad moment. I think Lotte can develop even further in our team. With her, we also have a good core for the Flemish races in the spring of 2022. Next year, with Chantal Blaak, Amy Pieters, Demi Vollering and Lotte, among others, we will spark further success."
