Tomorrow, ZWB Cycling is holding the second edition of their fresh Zwift race concept: the ZWB Omnium!
While the omnium concept isn’t entirely new to Zwift, it’s an uncommon competition format due to the heavy lifting organizers have to do in planning races and compiling results. The good folks at ZWB Cycling have certainly put in the effort, choosing thoughtful routes, setting up a sensible rules structure, and creating a website to share details and results.
What Makes It Special
Each week features a set of four unique back-to-back races combining into one intense omnium competition. Riders earn points based on their performance in each race, and the combined points total determines overall ranking. Plan on 90 minutes of combined speed, endurance, and strategy!
The 4 races are in the following formats:
- Prologue: A short, individual TT. The race of truth!
- Sprint Quali: No hiding! Fastest sprint wins.
- Spicy Scratch: A climbing battle where the first across the line wins.
- Crit Royale: Combines segment points and finish points for the final battle!
These are mass start races, although riders sign up based on Zwift Racing Score groupings. Riders are separated into ZwiftRacing.app vELO Score leagues (which roughly map to ZRS groupings) for the final results.
Schedule and Routes
Races happen every Tuesday through April 2026, starting at 19:45 CET/18:45 UTC/13:35 ET/10:45 PT. See upcoming events >
