FORMAT:
- All categories will follow the World Cup format.
- Meaning that there will be only one first qualifying round for all riders with the first 4 directly qualifying for the final rounds.
- There will then be a bracket race for those yet to qualify. Then, riders will need to finish in the top 2 to qualify for the finals.
- From the final stages, start positions will be drawn randomly by choosing a card on a tablet, in the order of the riders on the race sheet.
I like the sound of that! You gotta be on your A game to make it to the finals. I can’t wait the check this one out!
