National Championships 2025 (NC) โ Belgium ๐ง๐ช โ Individual Time Trial WE – Brasschaat – Brasschaat : 20,2 km
The Belgian National Road Race Championship is a cycling race which decides who will become Belgian national champion for the year to come. The winners of each event are awarded with a symbolic cycling jersey, which is black, yellow and red, like the national flag. These colours can be worn by the rider at other road racing events to show their status as national champion. The champion’s stripes can be combined into a sponsored rider’s team kit design for this purpose.
For the seventh year in a row, Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) won the elite women’s individual time trial at the Belgian Road National Championships, setting a time of 24:37 on the 20.1 kilometre course in Brasschaat.
Kopecky stormed to the title by nearly a minute over second-placed Marthe Goossens (AG Insurance-Soudal). Lotte Claes (Arkรฉa-B&B Hotels) was a distant third at 1:48.
โI had a good feeling, as far as that is possible in a time trial,โ Kopecky said in the post-race interview. โI was immediately on a good pace and was able to continue it well to the finish.
Starting last as defending champion, Kopecky came close to overtaking Goossens. “I was getting closer and closer to Marthe who had started in front of me, although she finished very strongly. It was difficult to pass her,” Kopecky said to Sporza.
The European time trial champion and World Champion on the road, Kopecky will be the outright favourite for her fifth Belgian title in Sunday’s road race.
โIt feels good when you can almost catch up with number two. So I can confidently go into Sunday’s road race. That will be a very difficult race to win. I will have to make the right choices and dare to lose at times. I expect more opposition on Sunday.โ
