The 2014 RideLondon–Surrey Classic (also known as the 2014 Prudential RideLondon–Surrey Classic for sponsorship reasons) was the 2nd edition of the RideLondon–Surrey Classic one-day cycling race. It was held on 10 August 2014 as a 1.HC category event within the 2014 UCI Europe Tour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic awarded hors catégorie status )〕 == Route == Following the inaugural running of the RideLondon–Surrey Classic the route chosen for the 2014 edition incorporates a number of changes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Denbies Wine Estate added to Prudential RideLondon 2014 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic - Route )〕 The route features five categorised climbs and four intermediate sprint points. The biggest changes relate to the Surrey section where local residents complained about the lengthy road closures put in place for the 2013 edition; where possible, the road closures for the 2014 edition will be managed by rolling road closures to limit the impact of the race on the local community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Surrey County Council welcomes Prudential RideLondon improvements )〕 The climb of Newlands Corner has been substituted for Staple Lane in order to route the race further from Guildford. The Leith Hill loop (traversed three times in 2013) has been replaced with two different loops centred on Dorking - riders will tackle Leith Hill (via Coldharbour) once and Denbies Wine Estate twice. The riders will race through the centre of Dorking four times, rather than once in 2013. With three categorised climbs in the vicinity and two intermediate sprint points in the town centre, Dorking was expected to become a focal point for spectators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 routes for Prudential RideLondon cycle events announced )〕 The route back to London, which still features the climb of Box Hill, was routed via Oxshott rather than Cobham. Minor changes to the route in Kingston upon Thames have been included in order to showcase the recently redeveloped ancient Market Place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About RideLondon )〕 Both the climb of Staple Lane and Oxshott were used in the routes of the Olympic Road Cycling races in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 RideLondon–Surrey Classic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
