The team at SISU Racing has announced the 2023 SISU Tour – a celebration of the Tour de France, happening during the men’s IRL race. This is the second year SISU has organized this Tour event, with last year’s race attracting over 2,000 participants!
Categorization and Results
This is a stage event where the overall winners are those with the lowest cumulative time across all 7 stages. Individual GC results will be split up by category and gender. That means separate results for A grade women, C grade men, etc.
There’s also a team GC based on a team’s best two finishers in each stage (meaning different riders can contribute to a team’s result – climber, TT specialist).
These are mixed races, so men and women will be racing together. Category enforcement will be used to enforce a minimum category for all riders.
Can’t race all seven stages? You can still race any stage you’d like, but you won’t be in contention for the overall GC win.
Schedule
The race has 7 stages: 6 road races and one iTT.
Each stage has multiple event times, and you can choose to race whatever time slots you’d like. Need to race different time slots for different stages? No problem. Your fastest time on each stage will count toward the GC results.
