SCHEDULES/CATEGORY

Number PlacementNumber plate shall be placed on the handlebars facing forward using the provided zip-ties. It shall be as flat as possible to ensure proper reading of the number; bowed out positions are not acceptable. See image to the right for bib number placement for the criterium.


No spectators allowed on the inside of the course near the start/finish line.


EQUIPMENTThe wearing of an approved helmet is mandatory. However, aero helmets are not permitted. Cycling gloves are strongly recommended. Participants are encouraged to ride on a road-racing bicycle however other suitable bicycles may be utilized. No bar ends, aero bars, disc/tri-spoke wheels, or other “aero” equipment permitted. All equipment must be in good repair, have adequate tires and operating brakes.

GEARINGThe Ontario Road Youth Cup Series will be “rolling out” gear check at all Youth Cup events. It has been considered for the past few seasons however, for 2016 we have decided to implement the rule for the following reasons:

• To ensure a fair and equal competitive basis for all involved

• To limit the competitive advantage of athletes who mature early

• To increase the relative importance and thereby development of racing tactics

• To encourage development of technique and ability to produce power at high cadence

• To reduce the risk of overuse injuries

All athletes racing in the U17, U15, U13 and U11 categories will be rolled out at Cycling Canada’s distance of 7.12 meters. We encourage everyone to have their bike set up in time for the first Youth Cup of the season!

U17 athletes racing up at the Ontario Cup Junior level will be permitted to use Junior gearing however U19 athletes upgraded to the Ontario Cup Elite level will still be required to use Junior gears.

POINTS (for Youth Cup only)

Points will be awarded for each event based on the table below. Riders must complete each event in order to qualify for the General Classification. Points from the ITT and RR will be tallied and a classification will be drawn up based on the highest point total. In the case of a tie, the rider with the higher placing in the RR will receive the higher placing.
