With the Goldfields Cyclassic including handicap races, riders in all grades have an opportunity to win.  

Don't worry, the two-day Cyclassic format and prize money remains in place – based on overall fastest times for the weekend! Each rider will be assigned a finish time as the time after the lead rider crosses the line and the time the rider crosses the line for each race.  

Prize money is allocated on merit so the spread of prizes is equal and fair, if you win Line Honours then you are not eligible to win a grade prize.  The amount of money to be won is allocated accordingly so you will always win the highest amount.
