November 29th Routes – Climbs and Flats
This week’s races alternate between climby and flat. Two of each… which do you prefer?
Lutscher finish
| Race 1: Lutscher (4.7km, ends after first hairpin) Get a flat lead-in from the start pens, then turn left and hit the Innsbruck KOM and go all-in for 2km. Race ends just after the first hairpin turn. Powerup: Feather |
| Race 2: Classique (5.638km, end at Mall banner) We finish this race on the iconic Classique sprint within view of Buckingham Palace. This finish is all about timing. You can see the banner from a long way out, but when do you go go go?! Powerup: Aero Boost |
| Race 3:Â Hilly Route Reverse (5.6km, ends atop first kicker of Hilly KOM Reverse) This twisty route will take riders through the Esses, over the reverse sprint and the cobbles of the Italian Villas, then over the rollers that follow. Catch a quick breath if you can, because it ends just up the road a few hundred meters after the start of the Hilly KQOM Reverse! Powerup: Feather |
| Race 4: Countryside Tour (5.261km ends at Country Sprint banner) The flattest race of the week, this one starts with a slight downhill, then it’s essentially pan-flat to the finish. Who will wait for a pack sprint, and who will attack early? Powerup: Aero Boost |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format features four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
A single powerup is given as you start each race, and you earn points based on your finishing position in each race. The overall win goes to whoever earns the most points across all four races.

ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays the finish order in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, be patient.)
Riders earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week is the rider with the most points across their zone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each zone’s latest results on ZwiftPower:
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week ~10% of our racers get disqualified. Don’t let that be you! Three simple rules:
- You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
- No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not – you will be DQ from race 4.)
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
Enjoy the Cooldown
Immediately following each final race, you’ll be taken into a 10-minute cooldown where you can chat with fellow racers and spin out those legs.
