What exactly is a mountain bike “stage” race?
In a multi-day stage race, such as BC Bike Race, all competitors start each day together in a mass start, working their way against the clock and through the course to the daily finish line. Teams’ finish times are recorded at the end of each day completed. At the end of the race, each of the stage race times is added up to calculate the overall winners in each category. In BC Bike Race, we have 7 days, or 7 stages, of amazing mountain bike racing.
