The World Cup is not to be confused with the World Championship, also organised by the UCI, which is a single one day race that awards the winner with a rainbow jersey to be worn in every race till the next World Championship. Typically the World Championships are held a week or two after the end of the World Cup at the end of January or early February.

In November 2014 the first round of the World Cup ever to take place outside mainland Europe was held in Milton Keynes, England.[1] The following September, the CrossVegas competition was incorporated into the World Cup for the first time, becoming the first World Cup round to be held in the United States.[2]

Race Categories

edit

There are 5 race categories.

  • Elite Men
  • Elite Women
  • Under-23 Men (aged 19 to 22)
  • Junior Men (aged 17 and 18)
  • Junior Women (aged 17 and 18)

Women Under-23 (aged 19 to 22) take part in the Elite Women race but a separate ranking and award ceremony is organized for Under-23 contestants.

Points

edit

During each race the World Cup classification points are awarded based on the following table.

Allocation of World Cup points
Place 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

For Under-23 and junior classification only the best 4 or 5 results, depending on the number of races, are taken into account for the final world cup classification.[3]

Jersey
