Conquer France with SISU Tour 2026 Beginning July 4

The SISU Tour is SISU’s largest annual race event, and it’s returning in July for its fifth edition. This 7-stage race series runs alongside the three weeks of the Men’s Tour de France, covering 2,495 meters of total elevation across 222km of Zwift France.

This year features some SISU Tour firsts: the first Tour with two individual time trials, and the first time featuring the ultimate test — the Queen Stage ascends the legendary Alpe du Zwift!

Individual and Team Classifications

Three prestigious classifications are up for grabs:

  • Mountain Goat: Conquer the climbs and prove your prowess on all KQOM segments to wear the coveted polka dots. The winner will be determined by the cumulative fastest time (FTS) across all mountain segments.
  • Sprinter Classification: Got a need for speed? Dominate the flat roads and be the first across the line on all sprint segments to claim the green jersey, based on the cumulative FTS.
  • General Classification: The ultimate prize. The rider with the lowest cumulative time across all seven stages will be crowned the overall champion of the SISU Tour.

Race for individual glory or team up to take on the Team GC, where the fastest three riders from each team, in each grade, will have their times combined for each stage. Riders must list their team on their Zwiftpower profile prior to the first stage. Full results and standings will be available at sisu.racing/tour.
