The Points race consisted of 160 laps (40 km) with 16 sprints where points are awarded, plus the opportunity for 20 points if a rider laps the peleton. Riders can also lose 20 points if the peleton laps them. The young Russian rider, Mikhail Ignatyev, carefully watched the breaks and did four extra laps for 80 points. Several other riders managed to do one, two, or three extra laps, but it wasn't enough to catch Ignatyev.
