Points and General Classification

The top ten riders in each category will receive 100, 95, 92, 90, 88, 86, 84, 82, 80, and 78 points respectively.

From 11th place, points decrease by one point per position down to 87th place. Riders finishing from 88th to 100th will receive one point. Riders finishing 101st or lower, as well as DNF, DSQ, and invalid results, will receive no points.

Points are awarded only according to each rider’s final finishing position in the official ZwiftPower results. Intermediate sprints, KOM/QOM segments, primes, banners, and other in-game segments will not award points.

All eight stages count towards the general classification, with no dropped results.

Participation is open to any rider, but all stages are private TEZH Racing club events. Riders must first join the TEZH Racing club in Zwift Companion to access the events and register: zwift.com/clubs/1fa742da-8706-4aca-91ba-ebf22f24d916/home
