My Index is 12... go figure. either way babse.  Elite aged, Index of 5. Why start you after us toppies with 10+ index

I don't really understand either. I'm 36 with an index of 12.5 and got a & start group. Pretty sure I should be further back

So what do you guys think is the age groups? ...............

From my understanding, they seed the much older guys, in their 60s and 70s, in groups that are earlier than they would normally be purely on performance. This is to allow them more time to finish and afford them the advantage of cooler and less windy weather. From a health management point of view this makes sense. Fair or not? I think it is good, especially as some of these guys have done many tours. They also tend not to become involved in the race and just ride at their own pace, time trialing the whole thing. (Just to be clear on my interest here, the older Team DJR member is just shy of 79.)

$ = +- 2 Index / Team/ Invite

& = 30+ (10 Index) Guessing( Could be top 500 in age?)

@=40+( 10 Index) Above(Could be top 500 in age)

# = Tandems

1A = Elites (10 Index) but not  +-2 as per $

%= Woman

1B = as per Index mix

They are going to reseed the & and @ groups into correct age group so that will be racing for age group win and not time as such, once they have filled up the $ group which is currently empty. Depending on who arrives to race in the elite bunch.

all Good,

 

the Million dollar question is .....

 

What do the winner of & and @ get?

 

No use splitting them and calling it a "Racing Age Cat " if you win nothing...my opinion.
