RideLondon's 169km race uses much of the same route as the London 2012 Olympic Games road race, heading out of London to the Surrey Hills and back again for a finish on The Mall.
The race will bring in WorldTour teams Deceuninck-QuickStep along with Bora-Hansgrohe, Jumbo-Visma and Team Ineos. Other WorldTour teams competing include UAE Team Emirates, Mitchelton-Scott, Team Sunweb, Groupama-FDJ, AG2R La Mondiale, Bahrain-Merida, CCC, Lotto Soudal, Dimension Data, EF Education First and Katusha-Alpecin.
In the 2018 edition of Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) crashed mid-race crash but went on to win. The German sprinter out-paced Italians Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo) in a bunch kick to the finish line on The Mall.
