The 2022 RideLondon Classique was the eighth edition of the RideLondon Classique, part of the UCI Women's World Tour. The race was part of the RideLondon cycling festival.[1] The race took place from 27 to 29 May 2022.[2] It was won by Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes, who also won all three stages.[3]
It was the first time that the Classique took place over multiple days, having previously been a one-day race in central London. The Classique was last held in 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]
Compared to previous editions of the Classique, there was a reduced prize pot of €60,000 spread out over the three stages.[6]
The race was criticised for not providing live TV coverage for all three stages - with only the final stage in central London broadcast live.[7] The UCI subsequently warned that the 2023 event would be demoted to the UCI ProSeries if stages were not broadcast on live television.[8]
