Chris Froome has said that he will be competing in Sunday's RideLondon Classic race.
Froome, fresh from his latest success of winning the 103rd Tour De France, said: "I'm looking forward to a bit of recovery after this race but it looks like next weekend I'm going to RideLondon as a one-day race before we fly as a team out to Rio.
"Then we'll fly as a team out to Rio and we'll be there almost a week before the race just to have a look at the roads a little more and start training a little more.
"The last few years I haven't done much racing in the UK. I've really wanted to, but races like the Tour of Britain have coincided with the Vuelta, and the national championships being just before the Tour de France, it's a tricky time to include with all that travel time and tapering to get ready for the Tour.
"It will be a massive honour to go and engage with the British fans, and then to go from there straight out to Rio."
