GFNY Rankings
Plan Your Race Calendar - Complete Your Goals - Earn Your Ranking
GFNY is a global race series, which spans an entire calendar year across countries and continents. With the GFNY Ranking, you can compare yourself against cyclists from different parts of the world, even if you don’t ever go head-to-head at a race.
GFNY Rankings isn’t just about the champions, the rankings offer all riders a fun way to see how you fare against riders in other parts of the world. The rankings will motivate you to do your best both in training and on race day.
The GFNY Ranking system provides objective criteria. The ranking takes place during each calendar year. For each GFNY race completed, you will earn points based on your finish placement in the competitive long route, or a flat number of points for completing the medium route.
Your best three results per calendar year will be factored into the ranking. If you complete more than three races, your next-ranked finishes will be awarded a flat 100 points per long distance finish and a flat 50 points will be added per medium distance finish.
Earn more points at certain key races: GFNY Regional Championships are a 2x multiplier and the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC is a 3x multiplier.
With your top three results counting towards your ranking, you get to pick the best opportunities to put your strengths on display. Additional points for every GFNY finish help you accumulate more points and climb in the rankings. As the racing season unfolds, your points achievements and real-time progress updates will help you to tailor your training and race calendar. Planning will help you achieve your goals and rise through the overall rankings.
GFNY Rankings are calculated in two ways: (1) overall, to determine the GFNY series-wide male and female standings, and (2) per age group, to compare yourself against others just in your age group. Each athlete is ranked both in overall and age group rankings.
Choose the best races for your cycling capabilities, time of year, location, and travel goals. And more than anything, have fun seeing the comparison with riders from all over the world.

How does the percentage calculation of the finishers between the first and the last work?
Here is an example:
100% = total number of finishers
5000 for the first, 100 for the last
With 100 finishers, each finish spot is worth 4900/100 = 49 points. 1st: 5000, 2nd: 4951, 3rd: 4902, 100th: 100.
With 1000 finishers, each finish spot is worth 4900/1000 = 4.9 points. 1st: 5000, 2nd: 4995.1, 3rd: 4990.2, 1000th: 100
