Priority race numbers

Cyclists who have achieved a strong result in another event may qualify for a priority starting position, subject to availability and upon presentation of supporting evidence, such as a results certificate or ranking.

Category 1, 2 and 3 riders also qualify for priority starting positions. Under the event regulations, these categories are eligible for the overall classification only.

All riders with priority race numbers are assigned the same start time for timing purposes.

The top three finishers in each race are ranked according to the order in which they cross the finish line, rather than their individual chip times.
