JZRA has just announced a new Zwift race with an innovative format. I’m a sucker for races with weird formats!
Here’s how it works:
The format was tested at the Track League. Riders will depart from the start/finish slowly allowing a group-up. Race is neutral until the first sprint banner at 2.5 W/kg – 3 W/kg. Every time the race passes through a banner (sprint, finish or KOM) the last placed rider will be eliminated. J. ELIMINATOR JZRA will give the call as to who is eliminated each time. He will say: “ELIMINATED: A. Jones” if, for example, A Jones is eliminated. Watch out for the shout. It is a true test of endurance, sprinting, bunch positioning and concentration. The last one riding will be the winner.
Should there be a large number of riders we may decide to eliminate the last 2 riders, to prevent the race from being of ridiculous length.
