RacingRiders will be obliged to compete in their CCA category at the Provincial Cyclo-cross Championships. CCA categories and UCI Regulations for Cyclo-cross place riders in their respective category for the following year, as the international Cyclo-cross calendar comprises two calendar years. Cyclocross bicycles must be used in the Elite/Open Men, and both Master Men categories. The use of mountain bikes is permitted in the category Junior Men, and all Women’s categories. Cyclo-cross UpgradingRiders in the Sport category will be upgraded to the Expert category upon accumulating, over the course of two seasons, 40 Alberta Cyclo-cross Cup points. Riders in the Expert category will be upgraded to the Elite category on the basis of top-3 performances. One of the following combinations of results must be achieved over the course of two seasons: 2 wins; 1 win plus 2 other top-3 placings; or 5 top-3 placings. Master riders retain the option of declining an upgrade provided they have not met either of the above criteria over the course of one season. Upgraded Master riders, aged 40 or greater, may revert to their original category the following season. Once a rider has begun racing in a Cyclo-cross Category, they may only upgrade based on Cyclo-cross results regardless of upgrades in Road or MTB categories. |
