It’s been a few short weeks since the Lift Time Grand Prix began its season at the Sea Otter Classic, and the premiere off-road series marches on this month to the big dog on the calendar: Unbound Gravel.
LTGP rules also included a vague mention that additional wild card spots could be added to replace riders. If Grotts and McElveen both DNS/DNF unbound, will their spots be given away? Better question is should they voluntarily give up their spots instead of limping along with no chance of finishing in the money?
Do you know how lifetime is handling the wild card selections in terms of points earned at earlier races? Will points be reallocated for, say, Sea Otter, if Vakoc gets in? Does he get the 4th place points and is everyone who finished behind him moved down one placing? Thanks!
I hope U23 riders get more attention they are the segment that needs media.
I plan to cover them at some point.

Good point. Will seek clarity about what’s happening there.

Correct, the wildcards will get their respective points and the leaderboard will move around. It could get very interesting!
