Bristish rider Ben Swift will be back into RideLondon Surrey Classic, this weekend. The Team Sky rider injured his shoulder in a crash at the Tour of Yorkshire in May. He had to undergo surgery in the injury but has been able to maintain his fitness by riding on a turbo trainer.

"I’d like to think it’s pretty good. Although I didn’t have the best preparation going into the Tour de Yorkshire [Swift had pulled out of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco three weeks earlier due to fatigue], I’d been feeling fit and riding well in the race, so that meant I had a good base to build on during my recovery from the crash", he explained on Team Sky website. "Unfortunately, my injury was a serious one which needed immediate surgery, so I took a week to get over the operation and I’ve been gradually building my form ever since. I’m feeling fully fit now, with no pain or discomfort at all. My rehab has gone really well so we’ll just have to see what happens."

Last year, he finished second on this race, behind Adam Blythe. He hopes to shine on his roads. "I’ll follow whatever the team instructions are for me, and we’ll discuss those between now and the start of the race. We’ve got a very strong team – one which is very sprint focused with CJ [Sutton], Elia [Viviani] and Andy [Fenn] all there with me – but I’ll certainly be looking to ride an aggressive race, and if the opportunity arises, I’ll obviously try and take it."

Two after days, he will compete the Tour of Denmark. "I’ve looked at the route and it has a little bit of everything over the five stages. I’ll just have to see how my legs are feeling after RideLondon though before I make any predictions on my progress there."
