The overall IDF World Cup winner will soon be determined and there's a red-hot pack of riders in with a chance. Dillon Stephens from Canada sits on top with 5,221 points, but he must place better than 7th at Mega Grand Prix to add any points to his tally. His biggest threat is Brazilian Carlos Paixão who is only 54 points behind, but with the potential to add more points.
But it's not just these two. Last year's winner, Canadian Kevin Reimer can leap into the top spot with a good result at Mega and so can Brazilian Thiago Gomes Lessa as well as Zak Maytum from the USA. There's an almost endless set of scenarios to be considered, but here are some of the most likely scenarios.
Mega Grand Prix result scenarios
- If Carlos places 10th or worse he cannot overtake Dillon.
- If Carlos places between 9th and 4th, and Dillon places at least two places worse, Carlos overtakes Dillon.
- If Carlos places 3rd or better, and Dillon places 2nd or worse, Carlos overtakes Dillon.
- If Thiago wins, and Dillon places 6th or worse and Carlos places 9th or worse, Thiago overtakes both of them.
