Featuring the world's greatest teams and riders, the Classique has been part of RideLondon since its first edition in 2013 and was added to the UCI Women's WorldTour calendar in 2016.

Previously a one-day race in London, the event is now a three-day stage race involving two stunning stages in Essex and a final stage in the heart of the capital.

Each year, thousands of people on the roadside and online around the world watch the world-class riders zip their way across parts of London and rural Essex.
