Sprint Primes vs A+ Breakaways.

• In the event of a successful breakaway of A+ riders in A grade, prizes will be awarded to both the first winners (from the A+ break) as well as for group sprint finishers at discretion of commissaire
• If the A+ riders do not establish a breakaway, the commissaire will announce a sprint lap mid-race.

Women's and Mixed Grades

• Separate Women's races will be offered when there are 5 or more women on the start line.
• When this occurs, the women's race will commence two laps after open grade starts, and the race commissaire will wait until the open grade has completed their final finish sprint before calling three laps to go for the women to avoid both grades crossing the finish at once.
