+ Hur
The team competition GCL is decided in two rounds. Each team has five riders, nationality does not matter, where one must be under 25 years. Two riders per round (it is allowed to be the same) compete where the winner is the pair that has the least errors during both rounds. If two or more teams are equal, the combined time to decide a winner is counted, but only from the second round.
The second round of the GCL also acts as a qualifier for the individual competition where the top 35 advance.
The individual competition GCT is decided with a basic round. Flawless riders go to a time jump where the fastest and flawless crew wins.
