The BBC and Eurosport are to show the Prudential Ride London race on Sunday August 4th.
Developed by the Mayor of London Boris Johnston and his agencies, Prudential RideLondon will be a world-class festival of cycling taking place over the weekend of Saturday 3 August and Sunday 4 August 2013.

The main event will be the the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic which sees around 150 professional riders including David Millar take on the one hundred mile long course, which is a variation on the London 2012 Olympic Road Cycling Race route. It will follow the same route as the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 sportive and feature a route extension (in Surrey) to meet UCI pro race requirements.
The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic will start at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at 12:45 on Sunday 4 August and finish on The Mall in central London. The race will pass through 12 London boroughs and the county of Surrey.
