Whats the story with this Crit? Is it invitation only, are there sponsors, prize money!?

For Milan?

• Separate Men and Women’s fields
  
• 24 laps (1.27 km per lap) / total distance of 26,5 km (Men)
  
• 18 laps (1.27 km per lap) / total distance of 20 km (Women)
  
• Timed qualifying format to set 85 rider starting grid
  
• Electronic timing and scoring
  
• Track bikes required
  
• Lapped riders eliminated
  
• Points awarded towards the Red Hook Criterium Championship
  
• Qualifying positions 86 – 150 line up for a 14-lap ‘Last Chance Race’. The top-10 finishers will advance into the main event.
  
  

Entry was open, $55. Men's sold out quick, Women's didn't sell out ( I don't think there was a single UK female entry?)

No riders with doping offences allowed.

Big list of sponsors. Cinelli provide a men's and women's bike for 1st place, cash for fastest qualifiers and cash/prizes for the race itself.

This year there were 3 races which made up a championship: Brooklyn, Barcelona and Milan.

great little video nice work
