FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: WHAT'S AN OMNIUM?
A: Historically meant for track cycling, an omnium is a multiple-race event typically comprising three or more cycling challenges. The G3 Gravel Omnium involves riding three races over three weekends and earning points for an overall placement. Each event carries a specific number of points awarded to the winner, second-place rider, etc. These points are then added together to create an omnium total. This total number is how we determine who has won the G3 Gravel Omnium Championship.
Q: HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE OMNIUM?
A: All riders who purchase a Series Registration are automatically in contention for the G3 Gravel Omnium Championship. The Series Registration is available via BikeReg and is open for a limited time. You must start each of the three races and finish accordingly in order to be eligible. Those who purchase individual entries for each race will also be entered into the G3 Gravel Omnium. You must be present and race at all three events to avoid disqualification.
Q: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LOWEST TIME?
A: Like the Tour de France, the G3 Gravel Series Omnium Championship is scored based on the lowest overall time. At the end of the series, the rider with the lowest times in each category is crowned Omnium Champion.
Q: IF I WIN, WHAT DO I GET?
A: Okay, golddigger. Second and third places will receive payouts based on their category position. The winner will receive a payout and a limited edition G3 Omnium Championship jersey.
Q: I JUST FOUND OUT I CAN'T RIDE ONE OF THE RACES. AM I STILL ELIGIBLE?
A: No. You must be present at and start/finish all three of the Gravel Races in order to be eligible for the Gravel Omnium.
Q: I HAD TO SAG OUT OF A RACE. AM I STILL ELIGIBLE?
A: Yes; however, your finishing time will impact your overall score. Mysterious things happen on the gravel, though, so we can't deny that a comeback is possible.
