Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2024 (SPOILERS)

What a finishing group coming into the velodrome, hard to believe Kopecky was able to come up the banking, around, and past the front riders, looking resplendent in the white bibs and jersey of the World Champion. Very impressive ride.

Aside from bringing a Kopecky to a Vos fight (which is to say that she was pretty well off even with the GOAT there) it looked to me like Lotte felt very confident being on a velodrome. Like they were on her territory.

Nice finish from Lotte.

Ellen van Dijk is *STRONG*.

Agree that Kopecky looked totally in control as soon as she swooped out of being boxed in and hit the gas on the track, although I think both Vos and Kopecky are former World and/or Olympic champs on the track (not sure which events).

Yes, they both are. Lotte’s exploits are current and Vos’ are past—I’m guessing that was a factor today.
