About Mandalay (Race Venue)

Mandalay is the second largest city in Burma, has a population of 1.5 million. There are a lot of colonial era buildings and these heritage were destroyed during the Second World War, and further obliterated by several fires that ravaged the city. Many of the religious sites remained wonderfully intact and the downtown area is mixed Myanmar ethics with Chinese residents. A “must see” would be the wooden U Bein Bridge (AKA U Pain Bridge), pictured above. It is 160 years old, built across a large lake linking two villages. Next on the list would be the 729 white stupas of the Kuthodaw Pagoda, each with a page of text, presenting the “largest book in the world”.

• On every fifth lap and the final lap, the first, second, third and fourth rider gets 5, 3, 2, 1 points respectively
• This means that there will be four sprints for riders during the Men Junior (U-19) Category and Masters Category which cover 20 laps. For Men U-23 Category and Open Category, there will be six sprints as these races are 30 laps long. After each sprint, riders can recover their energy for the next sprint but should try to avoid being lapped by breakaway leaders who attempt to lap the main bunch.
