Race Director Scott Sunderland, previewing Stage Three in 2023 said: “The Mall is one of the most iconic streets in the world and will be the Start and Finish of our final stage.  The riders will face eight laps of a central London circuit, with two sprints on laps three and six where precious bonus seconds and points will be up for grabs.

This stage definitely suits the pure sprinters.  They will be searching for the stage win and possibly the overall victory of the Ford RideLondon Classique.  Many other riders will be on the hunt for the remaining valuable bonus seconds in a quest to cement their own overall race standing.”
