Point-Based Competition System
This year, Sahyadri Classic introduces an exciting point-based system to determine the overall race winners. The race will be conducted as a mass start, meaning all riders in a category start together. Points will be awarded to the first five finishers at each ghat based on their position.
The rider accumulating the highest total points across their ghat category will be declared the winner. This system encourages consistent performance across all ghats and makes the race more competitive and thrilling for all participants.
