Lotte Kopecky expressed frustration with her performance at the Tour de France Femmes, feeling a lack of enjoyment and struggling against her ambitions due to previous injuries.
"Coming back and recovering from her crash in the Baloise Ladies Tour, Charlotte Kool was feeling better, felt good on the bike and could start yesterday's opening stage in Vannes."
"We are incredibly proud to extend our partnership with Human Powered Health for the next three years. Their long-term commitment provides the fuel we need to pursue our ambitious goal of becoming a top-five team by 2028."
I'm absolutely destroyed. I can't believe it. Already to win one stage of the Tour is incredible, from a break, but now from the GC group, and against some of the strongest riders in the world, it feels like I'm dreaming. I don't know what I just did.
I'm feeling good and happy to be here finally. I haven't raced since the Vuelta, which is two months and two weeks, quite a long time. This is the main goal of my season. I'm doing well.
The fairytale ending to Geraint's time in the Tour would be if he won a stage this July. But he's been a part of the Tour for so long and in so many different roles, he's left a real legacy there, whatever happens now.
