We recently shared the upcoming events SISU Racing is hosting which included the headlines for the 2024 SISU Tour. With the Tour less than two weeks away let’s take a deeper dive into the details of this 7-stage race!
SISU Tour: June 29 – July 21
It’s back, and really is bigger and better, with seven stages across 206km of Zwift’s most challenging roads and nearly 3,000 meters of elevation gained along the way.
For the first time in SISU Tour history riders climb Alpe du Zwift and finish with an individual time trial. The firsts continue with three classifications and jerseys, including the grandest of all, the Johtaja (Leader) Jersey.
General Classification
The Johtaja Jersey is awarded to the General Classification (Men and Women) winner in each grade based on stage time. (For now, the jerseys are awarded symbolically; SISU continues to dream that these jerseys will be awarded in-game one day.)
Sprinter and Mountain Goat Classifications
- Sprinters Classification
Points for the fastest ten riders in each grade in each sprint segment.
Points: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. - Mountain Goat Classification
Points on the KQOM segment for the fastest ten riders in each grade.
Points: 40, 36, 32, 28, 24, 20, 16, 12, 8, 4.
Team General Classification
The team classification in each grade is based on your team’s fastest three riders in each grade from each stage. Riders must ensure they have listed a team on their ZwiftPower profile prior to Stage 1.
Results
Results will be available on the SISU Racing website and emailed after each stage to everyone who registers.
