Scoring & Series

National Racing Calendar - The National Racing Calendar is a year-long series organized by USA Cycling. Riders and teams try to accumulate points at every NRC race. The final tally determines the best professional bicycle racing riders and teams in the country.

Women’s Prestige Cycling Series – The Nature Valley Grand Prix is the kickoff to a North American series that’s open only to women. The Series leaders will receive their jerseys during the closing ceremonies in Stillwater.

The Jerseys
The Nature Valley Grand Prix has winners at every race, but it also has competitions that last for the entire five days. Here’s how to spot the leaders:


	Yellow Jersey: Nature Valley GP Overall Leader. Hours. Minutes. Seconds. It’s all about time. We add up each rider’s time for each day and throw in a few time bonuses. The rider with the lowest total time is the Nature Valley Grand Prix leader.		Orange Jersey: Wheaties Sprint Competition The sprint competition creates several mini-races inside the race. We place sprint lines throughout the stages and give points to the first riders across those lines. The rider with the most points receives the orange sprint leader’s jersey.

	Polka Dot Jersey: Sports Beans King/Queen of the Hills – The brutal climbs in some stages of the Nature Valley Grand Prix will separate the contenders from the pretenders. Riders earn points by being the first across the line on designated hills. The top hill climbers will be recognized with polka dot jersey.		Red Jersey: Freewheel Bike Most Aggressive Rider – This is the rider who has done the most to animate the race each day. Attacking, bridging, chasing, sprinting, this rider always seems to stirring things up at the center of the action.

	White Jersey: APC Best Young Rider – Young riders are the future of the sport. The best placed man under age 23 and the best placed woman under age 26 will receive a white jersey		Green Jersey: Nature Valley Top Amateurs – Professionals and elite amateurs participate in the Nature Valley Grand Prix. The top amateur man and woman will be recognized with a green jersey.
