GPBR Castelli Leaders (after race #1)

The GPBR Castelli Leaders Jersey will be awarded to the leader of select
categories (based on current points) before each race. The points leader of
each category is required to wear their leader's jersey while they maintain
their lead. Race attendance and participation is mandatory to receive the
