Zwifter Jonathan Morin has collaborated with the team at Zwift HQ to create the first-ever “Chasing Yellow” event series. This unique series is an 18-stage event corresponding with the 18 stages of this year’s Tour de France which take place in France, with each stage set up as a mini version of that day’s TdF stage!
Series Basics
- 18 race stages
- 558km distance covered
- 8,764m of climbing
Schedule and Routes
Each day’s event begins at 1:15pm BST/8:15am EST/5:15am PST, about 1 hour after the real TdF stages begin. The idea is to ride on Zwift while watching the TdF live at the same time!
Race hard or casually roll along with others. You’ll never miss the best TdF action because each stage should end 1.5-2 hours before the pros are scheduled to finish IRL.

Race Categories
The Chasing Yellow events are races, so you can earn ZwiftPower ranking points depending on your finish position. Unlike most Zwift races, though, these events are mass-start events with only one category.
