HOW IT'S RACED

CROSS RACE

So many laps of a cyclocross course from a mass start, first over the line wins. Lapped riders are pulled.

  • 1 to 10 laps, 3 unless you choose.
  • A mass start on the start straight, from the grid: you and the robots in the game, or people in a group ride, robots filling the field.
  • Lapped riders are pulled: lose a lap to the leaders and you're out, behind everyone still racing.
  • On the stairs, the run-ups and the deepest sand everyone jumps off and runs, the bike on the shoulder: your power buys a running pace of up to 12 km/h, 8 on the stairs.
  • The bends cap your speed as a crit's corners do: 18 km/h round a 4 m hairpin. On a trainer the speed is capped, never the power, and the trainer feels the grass, the mud and the sand.
  • If your trainer or connection drops, you get one free lap: back in at the rear. Never in the last 3 laps.

LEADERBOARD

The best lap: one lap of the course from a standing start on the line (no race chosen in the game). A race's laps never go on the board.
