The inaugural Prudential RideLondon, the Mayor of London’s new world-class weekend festival of cycling, will be broadcast extensively on the BBC.
Full live coverage of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, set to feature leading WorldTour teams including Sky and Garmin-Sharp alongside several British UCI Continental teams, will be available via the red button.
Additionally, BBC2 will show parts of the RideLondon-Surrey 100 – set to feature around 20,000 amateur riders – from 11:30-14:00, while BBC1 will provide live coverage of the elite race from 16:30-18:30.
Event Director Hugh Brasher said: “To have four and a half hours of coverage on the BBC in the first year of Prudential RideLondon is fantastic.
“The BBC is a huge supporter of the event and the programmes will include highlights from all events and live coverage of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic.”
Some 111 countries worldwide – including Brazil, Canada, New Zealand and the USA – will broadcast coverage, with Eurosport covering the event for Europe and across the Asia/Pacific region.
Iain Edmondson, head of major events at London & Partners, said: “I’m confident that people from around the world will be inspired to make the trip to London and experience the post-Olympic atmosphere in the city for themselves.”
