Overview
The Ford RideLondon Classique returns to the Women’s WorldTour calendar as a three-day race, May 24-26, 2024.
The Classique began as a one-day race with a circuit in central London in 2013, founded as a legacy event from the 2012 London Olympic Games. It was added to the inaugural Women’s WorldTour calendar in 2016 and offered a €100,000 prize purse, one of the richest one-day races for women. The race returned to a three-day format after cancellations in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Team dsm-firmenich PostNL (formerly Team DSM) have won every edition of the Classique, and all but one stage since it became a stage race in 2022. That year, Lorena Wiebes swept all three stages to secure the overall title. In 2023, Charlotte Kool won two stages and claimed the overall victory. Chloé Dygert (Canyon-SRAM), was the only rider to break the Team dsm juggernaut in 2023 when she was the fastest of a reduced group to win the uphill sprint on stage 2.
Team dsm-firmenich PostNL with Kool will return in 2024 to attempt to secure a third successive title, but she will have to content with numerous top sprinters including Wiebes and her SD Worx-ProTime teammates.
