High speeds and aggressive racing defined the finale of the new-look RideLondon Classique.
Lorena Wiebes of Team DSM took her third victory in as many stages, but it wasn’t plain sailing to the finish.
The 85km parcours was comprised of two circuits, one short circuit completed twice, then a longer, 10-kilometre circuit ridden seven times.
Multiple breakaways attempted to get away, but they were never allowed more than 25 seconds on the peloton.
