From there, lane choice for each following round is based on the rider's previous lap time. Example: Rider X places first in his 3rd quarter with a time of 33:47. Three other riders in the that round of quarters have faster times so Rider X gets 4th lane choice. 3 Quarters - There are 4 quarters of 8 with fixed motos and they do three motos. Top 4 in each group transfer to semis 3 Semis - Two groups of 8 race three semis each with top 4 going to the main Main - One lap for the Gold!
