How do Masters team categories work (90+, 120+, 150+, 180+)?

In the 2026 Road Technical Regulations, the Masters team divisions in the road championship and club team criterium are Men's Masters and Women 90+, 120+, 150+ and 180+. For Masters categories, the total age of the youngest 3 starters is used to determine the team's final category.

• Team time trial: the Masters maximum distance is 40km, with a maximum of 4 and a minimum of 3 starters to form a Championship event team. A team may include 1 starter from a second club if it has 3 starters, or 2 if it has 4 (combined club teams).
• Team criterium: the maximum for Masters is 30 minutes plus 3 laps.
• National Masters Track Championships (team pursuit): for the age-restricted category, men's or combined teams of 4 must have a minimum cumulative age of 150 years for the youngest 3 riders, and women's teams of 4 a minimum of 140 years. The Open category is open to all Masters riders of that gender. Riders may enter multiple team events but only one in each category, and all participants must wear an approved club kit or plain kit.
