Rankings
In the men’s category, every race the combined times of the two fastest riders from each team will count towards the overall Team Classification Leaderboard.
Each race will also award points for the quickest athletes in intermediate sprints and KOMs/QOMs. Points for the sprints and KOMs will be awarded to the top five as 5/4/3/2/1. The team with the most points from these elements picks up a cash bonus at the end of the race.
These points plus points for the top ten across the finish line in each race (10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1) will contribute to the individual male leaderboards.
The women will race as individuals rather than teams. The top eight point scorers in each race will earn prize money. Points will be scored as 5/4/3/2/1 for QOM and sprints and 10/8/6/4/2 across the finish line.
