ELIMINATION

The London 3 Day
NOVEMBER 13 - NOVEMBER 15
What the race is

The Elimination Race - is a survival contest where the action happens at the back of the bunch. At regular intervals, the last rider to cross the finish line is pulled from the race. Riders must stay out of danger lap after lap, avoiding the drop while the field steadily shrinks, until only a handful remain to contest a flat-out sprint for the win. Simple to follow, and brutal in its stakes.
