Norway’s Alexander Kristoff won the sprint to the line to win the RideLondon-Surrey Classic, the richest prize in one‑day cycling. Kristoff, considering his team-mates were left to do all the heavy lifting in the chasing posse, was a worthy winner. Kristoff, Matthews, Jack Bauer (Quick-Step Floors), Daryl Impey (Orica-Scott) and André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) were among the more high profile, while Peter Kennaugh was the best known of the seven riders representing Team Sky. Impey was the first to crack and despite their heroic attempts to stay clear, Trentin and Stuyven were finally reeled in at the knockings. “You can see from the sprint I was really strong and nobody was really close,” Kristoff said.
