## Starting Order for World Cup Time Trials 

16.20.008 The UCI may decide to have several sport classes and/or age categories start together as one group. 

The starting order of sport classes in time trials shall be established in such a way as to minimise the possibility of the athletes of one sport class passing the athletes of another sport class (i.e.: C5-C4-C3, etc). 

Within each sport class, age category or group, the starting order is determined as follows: 

In the first round: 

1. Reverse order of the most recently published general UCI Ranking; 

2. Reigning Time Trial World Champion or, the year following the Paralympic Games, the reigning Paralympic champion; 

3. Winner of the previous year’s World Cup. 

From the second round on: 

1. Reverse order of the general UCI Ranking; 

2. Reverse order of the World Cup general classification; 

3. Reigning Time Trial World Champion or, the year following the Paralympic Games, the reigning Paralympic champion; 

4. World Cup leader. 

In all cases, the commissaires panel may modify this order for the T1-2 sport classes and H division if the course is too narrow. In this special case, the starting order of the athletes will commence with the fastest riders and conclude with the slowest riders in order to ease any problems of riders passing each other during the event.
