Raspini Pole Position Award: Get to know what is about!

In WES UCI E-Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup, where precision and speed are paramount, supremacy reaches new heights with the Raspini Pole Position award.

This accolade aims to award riders in the Qualirace. Both Women and Men, who set the fastest time during this stage will be marked with the Raspini Pole Position.

Beyond starting first, it brings prize money that accompanies it. The rider recording the highest number of fastest laps at the end of the season shall be awarded prize money.

Besides, since 2022 a fresh approach has been adopted to vest the winners of the Raspini Pole Position Award. Each first-place achievement, whether attained by a Woman or a Man, will be rewarded with 1 point.

In the event of tie-in points, a tiebreaker has been established: the date in the Series Calendar when the first place was achieved will be taken into account with precedence to the latest result.

For this year, WES keep embracing innovation, speed, equality and fair competition. As the racing season unfolds, the battle for pole position in the Qualiraceis is on.
