STARTING GRIDS

 

In each Trentino MTB race, the first three of each category will enter the Merit Grid, right behind the VIP section. Those who registered to the entire series will access the first grid behind the Merit grid.

 

 

STANDINGS AND RESULTS

 

Every race draws up its own results and standings. In order to enter the standings (individual and teams) of the series there is no compulsion to register to the complete series. However, only riders who complete at least four stages out of seven will be considered official finishers of 2012 Trentino MTB. If more than four races are completed, the worst result will be dropped.

 

 

INDIVIDUAL POINTS

 

Each race will assign a certain number of points to any rider. The Marathon courses of the 100 km dei Forti and Val di Fassa Bike races will use a 1,25 coefficient, instead of 1.
