SISU Racing announced two exciting race series last week which are worthy of a special mention due to their innovative formats. Separate 5-stage Men’s/Mixed and 3-stage Femmes (women’s) series will be replicating classic 2022 Tour de France (TDF) stages in Zwift at the same time as the world’s top pros are fighting it out in the IRL races!
The Big Idea
SISU Racing le Tour Men’s/Mixed includes a Grand Depart group ride through the French countryside and five race stages, including an ITT on Stage 1, Alpe du Zwift on Stage 4, and the iconic finish on the Champs-Elysées on Stage 5.
SISU Racing le Tour Femmes is a three-stage series, with Stage 1 on the Champs-Elysées, Stage 2 through the champagne countryside of Douce France, and finishing with the Queen Stage, a mountain top finish on the La Reine course in France.
