This monthly series is using zMAP W/kg Power with Category Enforcement and NEW PACK DYNAMICS 4.1.
Riders and Teams will compete for General Classification (GC) and Team Classification.

Pack Dynamics 4.1 important changes:
Overtaking someone that is not drafting should now be harder. With the goal of reducing “churning” at the front of groups, for you to overtake someone that is not drafting you will need to put out enough “net power”.
Net power is the power to overcome the opposing forces like if you are not drafting. So basically you will be tested like if you are not drafting to see if your power is enough to produce the speed to overtake. This doesn’t mean you need to do more raw power or watts/kg than the person in front.

Pen Limits for July:
PEN --> zMAP W/kg Limits
Pen A - 4.9W/kg and above
Pen B - 4.2 W/kg to 4.89 W/kg
Pen C - 3.5 W/kg to 4.19 W/kg
