Races entered and started
Riders are considered to be entered into a race if they attempt to compete in at least one official practice session with the intent of entering the race. These riders are noted on the entry list for that race. A rider is considered to have started a race if they line up on the grid or at the pitlane exit for the start of the race. If a race is stopped and restarted, participation in any portion of the race is counted, but only if that portion was in any way counted towards the final classification.Wins
