World champion Kopecky wins Tour of Britain Women title
WORLD champion Lotte Kopecky added the Tour of Britain Women’s title to her long list of honours as Ruby Roseman-Gannon snatched victory on the final stage following a photo finish in Leigh today.
Liv-AlUla-Jayco rider Roseman-Gannon crossed half-a-wheel ahead of Christine Majerus, whom Kopecky tried to hand the stage win to after easing up 250 metres from home to allow her SD Worx-Protime team-mate to pass her.
Belgian Kopecky crossed in fourth place but had done enough to clinch the title, finishing 17 seconds clear in the general classification. Anna Henderson was second with fellow Briton Pfeiffer Georgi earning fourth spot behind Majerus.
