final ranking of the previous season if no ranking has yet been published for the current season).

2 Unclassified riders by rotation: The start order of the riders within the team must be confirmed by the teams during the rider’s confirmation. The start order among the teams is determined as follows: - First, national teams whose order is determined by the nations’ classification of the concerned

category from the most recent world championships. - Second, unclassified national teams whose order is determined by drawing lots. - Third, UCI Elite Mountain Bike teams whose order is determined by the most recent team

ranking. - Last, UCI Mountain Bike teams whose order is determined by the most recent team ranking.

The teams (in the order as mentioned above) are taken in turn with the teams’ first riders starting in sequence, then the teams’ second riders etc.
