Rules-ish

General Classification

• To be considered for the general classification you must finish each stage in its entirety.
• The individual with the best combined time (all stages) will wear the leaders' jersey.
• You must start the stage with the group (i.e. no riding on your own).
• Sprint, KOM, & Super D classifications do not count toward General Classification.
• There may be situations when a time cut is imposed in order to keep the group moving and to complete the stage in a timely manner. We expect to wait up to an hour after timed sections for the peloton to regroup. On certain sections and scenarios, if a rider does not finish within 1 hour of the group, they may be rerouted or sagged.
• Super D - Most consistent Descender
• Time splits will be captured from the top of select down hills and compiled for an overall Super D time.
• Individual with lowest Super D time wears the SuperD Jersey.

Sprint - Fast Roadie
