Categories:

• There are six categories (including para-cyclist), based on power/weight, with positions awarded in results.
• Men and Women’s races will be conducted concurrently.
• Each rider is automatically categorized into a category based on their best 20-minute W/kg effort from the last 3 months (or that weeks race). This number is then multiplied by 0.95 and used to calculate the rank.
• The ranks are:
• Pro Elite - Your category is Pro Elite. This means your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) is 5.0 w/kg or higher.
• Pro - Your category is Pro. This means your FTP is between 4.3 – 4.9 w/kg.
• Neo pro - Your category is Neo Pro. This means your FTP is between 3.7 – 4.2 w/kg.
• Expert - Your category is Expert. This means your FTP is between 3.0 – 3.6 w/kg.
• Sport - Your category is Sport. This means your FTP is up to 2.9 w/kg.
• Para-Cyclist – please reach out to [email protected] to ensure you are placed in the correct category.

You will upgrade into a higher category automatically if you ride/race above the next category threshold. The only way down is to wait 3 months before your previous effort has expired.
