LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Adam Blythe delivered a perfectly-timed sprint to take a surprise victory in a sodden Prudential Ride London-Surrey Classic cycling race on Sunday.

A long-time breakaway group of five were together entering the final few hundred metres of the 200km course on The Mall but 24-year-old Blythe of the lowly NFTO team blasted out from the back, catching his favoured rivals cold.
