Classes
All ages are calculated from the competitors age on 31st of December for the year of competition.
Competitors remain in an age class for the whole calendar year (January 1st - December 31st) regardless of individual date of birth.
For the National League, which crosses the calendar year, the competitors age class will be based on the class that the competitor will be riding after 1st Jan.
League that crosses the calendar year example case:
1. A League runs from Octrober 2021 to July 2022.
2. A competitor is aged 49 in October 2021 and becomes 50 on the 6th June 2022.
3. The competitor will ride the M50 class for the entire duration of the league.
