Stage One: Individual Time Trial

The ITT course is a simple out and back format on a flat/rolling hills road just outside Crockett. Juniors will be doing a

shortened version of the course that is 4 miles, everyone else will do the full course that is just under 8 miles (link on web-

site with strava link).

Merckx Advantage Time Trial Information

An exciting new way of scoring time trials that has been used by Topview Sports in other states with great success. The Merckx advantage

TT allows riders to choose whether or not they want to use aero gear or select ‘Merckx’ and get a time handicap. Riders electing to race

‘Merckx’ will get a 30 second time bonus deducted from their finish time.

How does it work? When you roll up to the TT start you must tell the starter if your are doing Merckx or not. IF you do not tell the

starter, then we will score you as aero!

Aero Gear Limitations for Merckx Advantage TT

-No aero bars, aero helmets, aero shoe covers, aero extensions of any kind

-Wheels are limited to 55mm rims or smaller, no disc wheels or anything above a regular zipp 404 type depth.

-Allowed items—skinsuits, aero road helmets (non-teardrop shape, does not cover ears)

Overall Stage Race Scoring & Rules

The 2020 event keeps the overall GC competition from previous years, but will

scored like a stage race for 2020. The rankings will be placed with lowest cumula-

tive time between the three stages being the winner of each category. The only

real difference between last year is that the overall is scored using cumulative

time rather than points. Racers can still enter and race in individual stages outside

of the omnium.

Benefits:

Stage Race Upgrade Points—since this race is scored as a stage race, racers

get the maximum allowable upgrade points for placing highly at this event

More value for TT—time based scoring increases significance of time trial

performance and value of breakaways in the other two stages

Stage Race Experience—for those aspiring racers, getting to race a stage race

is a unique experience that is not offered very often to amateur racers.

Overall Stage Race Competition Rules/Restrictions:

To be eligible to place in the overall competition you must start and

finish each stage.

Racers must sign in before each stage starts

Racers must be pre-registered to participate in the overall competi-

tion

Anyone winning money must show up to the final podium in order to

collect their winnings.
