A 45+ rider who wins the Masters race wins both 35+ and 45+ races.

All races are open; that is, riders can choose their own race, without restriction, from week to week. However, there are to be absolutely no cash rewards or incentives in the B and C races, in order to discourage sandbagging and to encourage the new and less experienced racers.
