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.

Riders must list their team on their Zwiftpower profile prior to the first stage.
Good morning Eric little confused with these two statements in the rules .
I belong to SISU team on ZWIFT power and I’m on Zwift power .
So why would my results be excluded on Zwift power results , but my team must show on Zwift power profile ? Which it does .
I’m I missing something ?
I always use a HRM
Two different things:
ZPower is not the same as Zwift Power.
ZPower is an estimation of power in Zwift for riders that don’t use a smart trainer with a power meter.
Hi Lewis
“Zpower” is an outdated method to use Zwift without any powermeter. I think it uses HR as a reference to estimate power, so it’s incredibly unreliable. It has a similar name to “Zwiftpower”, but are completely distinct things.
I think you are ok and ready to go! Let’s have fun
Definitely doesn’t use HR to estimate power. It uses wheel speed. See https://zwiftinsider.com/virtual-power/ for details.
28-30 sprint segments for points. That should be interesting. 😱
Great news multiple day to find an event. That is so good. With World Cup & pinkie events finding a time slots hasn’t been easy.
Anyone able to find the racing times?
Either I’m blind or they’re not out yet
