High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The London–Surrey Cycle Classic was a one-off, one-day bicycle race that acted as the test event for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. The race was part of the London Prepares series of events. The race was run over the Olympic course, starting in the Mall and heading into Surrey, where the riders completed two laps of the Box Hill loop before making their way back to the Mall. The course took the riders through four Royal Parks and six London Boroughs. Most of the riders represented countries instead of trade teams; however, there were several, mainly British, trade teams in the race with England being classified as one of them. The race was won by 2011 Tour de France Green Jersey winner Mark Cavendish.
