Learn About Upcoming SISU Racing Events: Tour, Crit, Reissu

The team at SISU Racing, now one of the most prominent teams racing on Zwift, announced on last week’s The Wrap that they are hosting a bumper four months of races!

Let’s take a look at what’s under the hood of that SISU Boogie van…

SISU Tour: June 29-July 21

It’s back bigger and better with 7 stages during the Men’s TDF.  For now the headlines are to register, download the Tour Poster (below), and take a look at the promotional clip – it really is bigger and better!

Three classifications: GC, sprinters, and mountain goats!

SISU CRIT: May 14-August 27

Dynamic, tactical, and high energy, that’s the spirit of SISU CRIT!

Season 1 is a 12-race series (best six count towards the overall championship) held on some of Zwift’s fastest roads. It’s every Tuesday (into Wednesday if you’re in Oceania or Asia) with pauses for SISU’s other two series.

If you didn’t race in Race 1, it’s fine, you have 11 more coming up, and your best 6 count.  (Race 1 that was streamed and it was spicy!)

Each race will be held in four time slots and all races are points races.  They will be awarded in each grade as follows:

• FAL (first across the line) to the first 20 riders in each grade will be awarded 40, 38, 36, 34, 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 points. See event details for which laps.
• The first 20 riders in each grade across the line at the end of the race will be awarded 250, 240, 230, 220, 200, 180, 160, 140, 130, 110, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10.

SISU Reissu: June 3-9, London

The Finnish word Reissu roughly translates as a journey or trip, embodying the concept of travel, adventure, or excursion. SISU Reissu is a 3 or 5-Stage GC series held over the course of a week.  (The shorter journey is for those Zwifters who can’t commit to five days of racing in a week.)

Note: SISU wrapped up their first Giro-inspired Reissu last week and over 1,000 Zwifters from 60 countries raced in the series!
