Yes, the Surrey 'classic'. I think after the Olympic Road Race, the TdF Stage 3 and this race I'm so bored of the race finishing on the Mall, and talk of the 'iconic' Box Hill climb. From a TV point of view, the roads lack any of the drama afforded by, for example, the Yorkshire stages.
Nothing wrong with the race per se, it's just the parcours is uninspiring and it's very London-centric. That said I watched it and enjoyed it, plenty of drama if very few 'names' riding it. Clever sprint by Blythe to snatch it at the end. Must be nice punching past a World Champ.
