Competition Format

The race is a mass start event, during which, after several laps of the circuit, the first rider to complete the distance is declared the winner.

At the start, riders will be positioned in the starting line according to their current UCI ranking. The higher position riders will be placed at the front of the group. Should a rider be lapped at any time during the race, the rider must finish that lap and then is removed from the competition by a commissaire via a designated finish lane before the start of the finish straight. The lapped rider will be listed in the results in order of finish plus number of laps down.

The course is an undulating circuit designed to produce an optimum winning time, not a specific distance. Time parameters are listed below (in hours and minutes).
