25 teams from around the world that will contest this year’s Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic announced
News – Great line up for RideLondon
The event, part of the Mayor of London’s multi-award winning annual festival of cycling, includes 10 teams currently competing in the Tour de France with squads from a total of 12 nations in the line-up.
• 25 teams announced for Britain’s best ever one-day Classic
• 10 Tour de France teams confirmed
The six-rider teams will tackle the 200-kilometre route, starting from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at 13:00 on Sunday 10 August, that includes multiple circuits in the Surrey Hills and additional sections of the 2012 Olympic Road Race Route, such as the climb of Staple Lane over the North Downs near Guildford.
Eight UCI ProTeams from the top level of the sport will compete, including the world number one ranked team Omega Pharma – Quick-Step team of Mark Cavendish – who is recovering from surgery following his crash in the first stage of the Tour de France.
Three further teams from the world’s top 10 – BMC Racing, Belkin Pro Cycling and Team Sky – will also compete, along with MTN Qhuebka, the leaders of the UCI Africa Tour classification, and four of the top 10 squads from the UCI Europe Tour standings.
“We have attracted a strong line-up and an excellent combination of teams, some of whom will be working towards a sprint finish while others will be looking to animate the race and ride aggressively. This year’s route changes, with the double climb up to Ranmore Common, will favour a more aggressive strategy and mean the race is not certain to come back together as a bunch sprint on The Mall,†said Mick Bennett, Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic Race Director.
“Following the Tour de France and Commonwealth Games, interest in cycling has never been higher, and the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic is another chance for fans to get close to the world’s top teams.†The race will be covered live on BBC1 and shown internationally in more than 160 countries worldwide.
