Starting Times:

Sudden Death here becomes a tie-breaker race, typically a head-to-head continuation of the same loop format until one Mtb rider wins.

🔄 How it works:

1. Tied MTB'rs go out for one more lap (same loop as before).

2. First one back wins.

3. If someone fails to start the next lap, or quits, they lose.

4. If both finish the lap together, you do another lap — repeat until someone wins outright.
