Notes / Caveats:• Final purse distribution for each respective category on race day is based on final number of registered participates and solely at the

discretion of TDVI organizers.

• * Masters 1 racers will receive the higher of the purse amount for overall race standing or Masters 1 standings. Should a Masters 1 racer be eligible for a higher purse amount on overall standing, he/she will receive the higher amount, not both. The next highest placing Masters 1 racer will then be eligible for that Masters 1 purse amount.

• In the last three years, the TDVI paid out the total purse in all race categories EXACTLY as advertised. While we cannot guarantee payouts, we are confident that the purse payouts as noted for each category can be achieved.

The Ontario Criterium Series will stretch from Ottawa all the way down to Windsor making stops in Markham and Kitchener along the way. This brand new series will highlight the best Criterium racing that Ontario has to offer. Included in the series is a double header which will feature the Nationally sanctioned Kitchener Twilight Grand Prix and the brand new Fieldstone Provincial Championship Criterium. New for 2017, the Provincial Championship Criterium will run ability based categories NOT age based. This means that riders will compete for the Provincial Championship title against the riders that they’ve raced against all season.

All of the races included in the series will be run with ability categories just like the Ontario Cups. Over $50,000 in prize money will be up for grabs over the course of the series. That doesn’t include a purse of over $4,000 for the overall series winner which will be given out at the end of the series in Windsor.
