Kirchmann headlines Liv-Plantur’s RideLondon squad
Team Liv-Plantur will line up for the Prudential RideLondon Classique on July 30 with a strong team led by Leah Kirchmann.
The Canadian sprinter, who won the opening stage at the Giro Rosa and took the event's first pink leader's jersey, will have support from her Dutch teammates Floortje Mackaij, Riejanne Markus, Rozanne Slik, Julia Soek and Kyara Stijns.

The team's director, Hans Timmermans confirmed Kirchmann’s leading role for the race in a press release, saying, "We are heading to the United Kingdom with a team riding well. With Leah we have a rider in very good form and we will look to support her through the key moments of the race and she will be one of the favourites for the podium.
"We have shown race on race that we are getting stronger and as a team we will not hesitate to take the initiative and create opportunities for our riders. Last weekend at La Course by Le Tour we were hoping for more, but Saturday provides another chance for a good result."
The newly named Prudential RideLondon Classique will take place on a 5.5km circuit in central London. The finale will suit the fast finishers with a flat finale along The Mall.
