Lotte Kopecky will close out her Spring Classics campaign at Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition on Sunday and then turn her attention from the road to the velodrome at the upcoming UCI Track Nations Cup held in Milton, Canada, on April 20-23. 

The reigning World Champion in the Elimination Race and the Madison is on the hunt for points, which are important for her goals of competing on the track at the Olympic Games in Paris next summer.
