The 2024 Tour de France Femmes is set to kick off in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Monday, August 12, with a lineup missing one of its brightest stars. Lotte Kopecky, known for her explosive sprints and tactical brilliance, will be absent this year, choosing instead to chase Olympic glory in Paris. So far, the Belgian won bronze in the Olympic Road Race and was shy of another bronze medal in the Points Race at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome in Paris.
