Capricorn Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 world cup for the men is over, with Pierron not needing to even show up. rest well you champion.Rachel however, needs to work abit. She's on 986 points, and 2nd placed Tahnee on 906. IIRC ,with the 2018 rule changes, the final race of the WC season doesn't earn you any qualifying points, so only the points from finals counts.According to the UCI, points are as follows (qualifying points in brackets): 200 (50) 160 (40) 140 (30) 125 (25) 110 (20)So if Tahnee wins at La Bresse (next weekend, 24 -26 Sep), Rachel only needs 121 points to take the series. That is, she needs to finish 4th or better.Unless Rachel stacks out, La Bresse could be bitter-sweet for Tahnee. And, with only a week between world cup final round and world champs, no one needs to stack. I need to revise this: that final points tally is a bit odd where qualifying points are apparently wrapped up in the total. Mr Cathro mentioned something about it. If that is true, and assuming the qualifying points are determined by your finals position, then Rachel needs to come 2nd to take the overall, otherwise, they'll be on a dead-tie. Dang!Cathro however said Rachel needs to podium to take it, so i need to get the points rule verified.

No points for quali, all the points on the race run incl those that would have been for quali. So I think that's where he gets podium from.

So I think that's where he gets podium from.verified was the wrong word; i wasn't doubting him. Rather, wanted to know the points allocation. Logically (to me at least), it would seem winner gets 200 + 50 (as if they won qualies as well).
Capricorn Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Theo getting some cathro loving.. https://youtu.be/LYD_i7C0KlU?t=8m46s
Albatross Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Qualies What happened to GM? Only managed 115th position
Capricorn Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Qualies DH Quali.jpeg What happened to GM? Only managed 115th positionhe should be protected since he was top 20 last season. Track looked wet during qualies,so maybe a bit of stack. Or, he is a playing the weather game. Or, he is just cruising,saving his carcass for worlds next week.

BSG Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Seems quite wet today[emoji467][emoji97], going to be interesting to see what the mud looks like at the time the last 4 and then the when the men starts racing.
BSG Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Whow, Atherton 11 sec faster than 2nd place [emoji898] with 1 more to go.
Stretch Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Next year is gonna be interesting... Tahnee is up to speed with Rachel now... Those too were both in a different league today
