Men’s Series Round 1 - Points Hunter
One of the favoured events from last season was the Points Hunter. Well, it's back this year, but with some small tweaks!
The Points Hunter format aims to drive strategic decision-making from the moment the riders leave the pens. Teams will need to work together to determine whether to clock up points early or gamble on securing higher points at the end of the race where they could be left empty-handed.
The race will have 8 intermediate points locations, which award different points, in addition to a limited number of points available at the finish line. However, any riders that earn points at intermediate locations will also be removed from the race, so each rider can only score points once during the race.
Riders will receive an Aero PowerUp as the pass through the lap arch at the end of the lead-in and upon completion of lap 1.
Total Riders : 80 (16 teams of 5)
Course : 2015 Richmond UCI
Distance : 32.7km
