Explain these races Win’N’ Out This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2nd to 4th. Tip if you go for a sprint make
Point score- Riders must score points by sprinting for intermittent sprints every ?? laps for bonuses (5, 3, 2, 1 points).
