Cyclocross, MTB, road and gravel rankings
The average rating of the ranked masters in each field — not every starter, only the riders already carrying a rating. The count says how many. Fields are listed by age group, not by strength.

Ratings are percent per lap against an average Men Cat 4; higher is stronger. A field with a single rated master gets no average — one rider is not a field. Results through November 8, 2026. Nothing here is an official result; corrections are welcome and get made.
