London cycling

Found a cycle race going on around St James 's Park.

The start of the inaugural Prudential RideLondon Women's Grand Prix, a 15-lap criterium around a 1.3-mile circuit. The Wiggle team included Joanna Rowsell, Dani King and Laura Trott, the gold-medal winning riders in the Women's Team Pursuit at the 2012 London Olympics.




It had been cut to 45 minutes because of delays in earlier races. There were several breakaways as above, but it came to a sprint finish won by Laura Trott (Wiggle team) with Dani King fourth. Joanna Rowsell fell on the last lap and broke her collarbone.
