Will Lotte Kopecky start Stage 1 of the Tour de France Femmes in Lausanne on August 1?

Why: Multiple independent sources in the supplied evidence indicate Lotte Kopecky was on the startlist and rode Stage 1 (Lausanne) on 2026-08-01. The Cyclinguptodate stage report (01 Aug 2026) is explicit race coverage and states Kopecky was involved in the stage (noting she was dropped/lost contact on the Côte de Vulliens), which is direct post-stage evidence she started. Independent previews/startlist pages from IDL Pro Cycling and L'Équipe (both in the pool) list Kopecky as part of the SD Worx team for the Lausanne stage, corroborating she was due to and did take the start. Together these independent reports establish that Kopecky started Stage 1 on 2026-08-01.
