The Shimano Sprint Series is a series of criterium events to determine Australia’s best circuit racers.

Including events in Launceston, Sydney and Melbourne, the series will see riders competing to score points across three events to take the crown. The riders with the highest number of points at the end of the series will take home the Shimano Sprint King or Queen crown.

How it works:

Points will be applied to the elite men’s and women’s races at each event only. Points will be awarded on the final race standings as show here.

Finishing points: 10 points will also be applied to each rider who completes a round in the series.
