RideLondon Classique organisers fight to get back on the 2020 Women's WorldTour

The organisers of the Prudential RideLondon Classique are fighting for their place on the 2020 Women's WorldTour after the UCI left the  race off the calendar for the first time since the series started four years ago. In an interview with Cyclingnews, event director Hugh Brasher said that he hopes the UCI will reconsider its decision. He also announced a new 12km circuit along with a team appearance fee equal to the men's WorldTour, continued live TV coverage, and its €100,000 prize purse.
