Les 12 premiers coureurs de chaque épreuve reçoivent ainsi des points suivant le barême suivant: 50, 35, 25, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5. Pour figurer au classement final, il faut toutefois avoir participé à six des 10 manches de la compétition. Celle-ci débouche également sur un classement par équipes. Il est établi sur base de points (1 point pour le premier, 12 pour le douzième, 30 pour le trentième,...) attribués aux trois premiers de chaque groupe. Les 10 meilleures formations dans l'ombre croissant des points se verront attribuer respectivement 12, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 et 1 points. Pour être classés en fin de saison, les groupes auront dû participer à neuf des 10 courses de la Coupe du monde. (The first 12 riders in each event receive points according to the following scale: 50, 35, 25, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5. To appear in the final ranking, however, the riders must have participated in six of the 10 rounds of the competition. There is also a team ranking. It is established on the basis of points (1 point for first, 12 for twelfth, 30 for thirtieth, etc.) awarded to the first three in each group. The top 10 teams in this classification will be awarded 12, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points respectively. To be classified at the end of the season, the groups will have had to participate in nine of the 10 World Cup races.).
