UCI and USGP Start Grid Staging.



Elite Men/Women, U23 Men, Junior 17/18, Masters 35+



   



From the Chief Commissaire:



   



The top 24 riders in the latest published UCI Cyclocross Points Classification will be called up to the first three rows.



Any riders listed lower on the UCI classification than 24th MAY be given a call up at the discretion of the Chief Commissaire.



All other riders will be called up next in numeric (registration) order.

   

Junior call up will be based on a random draw done at registration.



   



UCI Rankings are on the website: www.radracingnw.org



   



If you are not UCI ranked and don't want to line up in the last row register online.



www.bikereg.com



   



As stated above numbers will be assigned in the order riders were registered.



   



Masters 35+ will be staged by USGP rankings.



The top 16 riders from the Portland (USGP #1) will be called up.



The rest of the Masters 35+ field will be assigned numbers and staged by order of registration.



   



Other citizen categories will not formally grid at the start unless field size requires(possibly Men's B).



If that becomes the case they will be done in numerical order as well.



   



Riders are all reminded to report to staging 15 minutes prior to race start.



   



Remember a $2 parking fee for all competitors will be accessed to help offset the permit fees.
