Tiny racing in a new format…….wow fun but intense. How did I do?
Saturday fun with Zwift Insider Tiny Races. This time they are trying a new format where all categories races together. It makes it a bit difficult to figure out who you are racing, but it was intense and fun.
Completing routes in Innsbruck, Watopia, Makuri Island and New York. Riding the Innsbruckring, Countryside Tour, Tempus Fugit and Park Perimeter Loop. Luckily not the full courses.
Basically an all-out effort in all four races…..and then some. Let’s see how I did.
Is This the Hardest Race Series on Zwift?
I am finding myself entering the Zwift Tiny Races Series every weekend, and each weekend it seemingly gets harder and faster than the one before. The intensity is turned up to 11 for each one of these four mass start races, spread across an hour of “go, reset, go again” … in 15 minute intervals. Each race is full on from start to finish. And somehow, these races are both over before you know it and at the same time feel like an eternity when you’re in the middle of them?! My body gave, gave up, and then gave again throughout the series, which really just goes to show that each race is a hard reset and a chance to do well… or get dropped. No guarantees either way, and past performance is not a predictor of future success in this series! It is fast, furious, fun from race 1 to race 4. This series leaves me both wanting more because it is so much fun and wanting to throw my bike in the garbage because it’s just so dang hard. Fun and fitness were had today. Another great day on the bike in the land of Watopia on Zwift.

Zwift Tiny Races with Synergy this morning
Tiny Races this morning with team Synergy. This is a short race every 15 minutes really working on your sprint and attacking efforts. Always difficult. I love that race 3 and 4 start with the same 1km. Race 3 we were motoring along at 250W and Race 4 the same section at 200W but it felt harder! All part of Tiny Races! Thank you Ryan Granger for DSing us!!

Zwift Insider Tiny Races – The hardest hour in Zwift Racing?
“Why do I keep doing this? This Zwift Insider race series sounds fun, but is it? You know it’s short, so you give it all you have, forgetting you have to do it again, and again, and again. It doesn’t help that every stage ends in a climb. And it doesn’t matter how small those climbs are, you feel every meter of them. Enjoy watching me suffer, and then decide for yourself if you think this pain is worth the pleasure.”

Sascha Damrow (Kirchmair e-cycling) takes a 1st overall in zone 1.
On the phone while sprinting…
Kevin Osborn says, “Final race on the @zwiftinsider tiny races yesterday. Had tech issues which meant my air pods would not connect the call to @psmith_esports_eracer who was coaching me in for the sprint (he also had a DC Issue in this race). This resulted in a entertaining conversation whilst trying to ride. But I managed a podium 💪🏻”
Power Animation + 4th Overall
This video is in french, but you gotta love the power animation that kicks in near the end of each race as Zwifteur’s power hits big numbers. He finished 4th overall in Zone 1!
DoomGuy in the Fight Club – Tiny Races Z3 CAT B
DoomGuy is back, with the coolest stream overlays and, at least this week… an overall win in cat B! DommGuy shared with us:
A rider new to the Tiny Race series came in bright eyed and bushy tailed, asking “I’ve never done one of these before, what are they like?”
DoomGuy explained that “It’s like fight club… come into the hurt locker, get beaten up, go back to work beaten and bruised and come back for more next week.”
B Cat – “Absolute Pain Fest
Alan Reid keeps his mic on for the full hour so we can hear the pain.
Berk Kayin – the Silent Killer
Berk is a top A racer who hits the Tinies almost every weekend. And he makes it look easy… or is that just because his videos are silent?
Can I survive four races?
JD takes on the C Tinies again, to push his VO2 limits!
440 Watts for 6 Minutes

Can I win a sprint from 1.2km?
Tiny Race regular David Hivey (ART) makes it spicey… especially in race 4, when he goes all in for a long breakaway. Can he hold it to the end?

This nicely-edited video lets you see Petey’s well-timed sprints and improvement notes.
Head Banger Finish
Kaan Kayin makes it look easy, hanging with the A’s on flatter routes with seeming ease. Until that final sprint, when he turns into a headbanger and drops some watt bombs!
Chasing ZwiftPower Rankings
Eric races his own Tiny Races for the first time in months. He knows he doesn’t stand a chance at overall glory thanks to the Fox Hill climb, but can he get some good ZwiftPower ranking results on the other three races?
Zwift Tiny Races = Max Suffering!
B racer Erik Lee of Don’t Get Dropped Cycling jumps into his first Tiny Races. And yes, he sniped and only raced the last two…
POOR CHOICES – Tron VS Gravel | Zwift Insider Tiny Races – Down & Dirty – Cat C

Fan support for a first time win!

His friend Warwick was fan viewing the event – see the finish and hear Warwick cheering Stephen on below. Hold on after the finish to hear Stephen trying to breathe while being thrilled with the win!
David Hivey Taking the Win, with Sauce (Zone 1 C)
David Hivey (ART) from the UK took top honors in the zone 1 C group this week. When we chatted afterward, he said, “That was bloody horrible. Great/Terrible idea to do the same course that just got longer. Had to really think about not going flat out in the early races, or the last one would just be too much.” See his video below, complete with Sauce for Zwift overlays:
My first-ever cat C race on Zwift
Austrian Georg Sauer won it all in the zone 3 D’s last week and got upgraded by Zwift’s category enforcement. So this week he gave it a go in category C, and did impressively well! Watch his video:
Watch Me Suffer and Win (Zone 3 D)
D racer George Sauer won it zone 3, and made his first-ever YouTube video too! See it below:
DirtyPirateMan’s Tiny Race WIN (Zone 3 B)
“These races are such a good time and a welcome change from the typical races! Here are last weekend’s Zone 3 (B) Races where I managed to string together multiple wins and snag the overall after some very close racing against so many strong competitors.”
First-Ever Tiny Races for Eric Barnett (Zone 2 B)
B racer Eric Barnett took on his first-ever Tiny Races last week, and streamed the fun for all to enjoy. “This is some real deal suffering…” He finished 7 overall in Zone 2 – not a bad start:
Lots of attacks, and wins from the breakaway
We’re not sure what was in the water last week, but there were lots of attacks and even wins from the breakaway. Watch “Titanium” Ben Pitt’s beautiful live stream of all four races below. It includes fun stuff like him making the break in race 1 and weirdly white Watopian roads in race 3! (He finished 8th overall.)
My first podium!
Last week’s races were a nice mix of climbs and flats, and one C racer finished with “a first Tiny Races podium, a failed break attempt, a mis-timed sprint, and a Top-5.” Watch his video below:
Tour de France Grand Depart!
Last week’s races were Tour de France-themed since they happened on the same day as the TdF’s Grand Depart (stage 1). B racer Lucas Johnston recorded his race while listening to the live TdF commentary – and he won the overall!
Up Down Up Down – Group 2 – Cat C
Last week’s “Up-Down-Up-Down” set of races mixed up the results nicely, but the suffering remained! Watch popular Twitch streamer GeneralElost take on the C category (“That was probably the deepest I’ve dug… in a long time!”):
Winning the Zwift Insider Tiny Race (Zone 1 C)
Tiny Races are never easy – even when you’re the top rider in the group! Watch Italian Luca Degre win last week’s zone 1 C category:
Tiny Races A Category Zone 2 Winner Daniel “Jammers” Jamrozik

Nathan Guerra battling to a tie for 1st place in the Zone 3 A
We stayed in Britain for all of last week’s races, and it resulted in some really close competition for podium spots! Here’s friend of the site and Zwift community racing legend Nathan Guerra battling to a tie for 1st place in the Zone 3 A category:
BL13 3-Man Breakaway Attempt
Last week’s Tiny Races were all on the London Loop route, with each race longer than the one before. Team BL13 tried a 3-man breakaway on the first race… and it nearly worked! Watch their attempt (we cued the video to the fun part):
Misrouted Racers
Last week’s Tiny Races were another tough mix on the theme of training for Worlds. We ran into a hitch with race 3, when everyone who was running the current Zwift version was routed incorrectly, while those who hadn’t updated were routed properly. Ha!
Watch Titanium Ben and his admirable reaction to the bug in his A race:
C rider trying to hang with A’s & B’s
We often feature race videos from race winners, but this week we’re featuring a video from a brave competitor – a C rider who raced against the A and B riders, just for the challenge of holding on! And he managed to do so, until race #4.
Zwift Races & Structure For Big Fitness Gains
Phillip Lovett (Bike Racing Without Mercy) recently shared this video with us, along with this note: “I got badly injured in a bike crash in May 2022, and gradually made my way back to fitness, with the final block of training basically comprising your wonderful Tiny Races each week plus one other Zwift race and then a single structured workout (was very busy at work – so not much time to train). It worked brilliantly…”
William Ng (Zone 3 D) takes 3 wins
Congrats to William Ng, a D rider in Zone 3 who took 1st in all four races. Watch him with the first three below (check out that Sauce for Zwift overlay!)
Berthold Wimmer ties for the win in Zone 2 C
Last week’s Tiny Races saw some very close competition for the podium, including Zone 2 C category where the two top riders tied for points! Here’s a recording from one of those riders, Austrian Berthold Wimmer.
Scott from KOM Hunt TV Takes On 4 Tiny Races
Of course, it’s not just the A’s who race. We’ve got B, C, and D categories fighting it out every Saturday as well. Watch Scott from KOM Hunt TV take on the C category:
Thom Thrall takes 1st overall (Zone 2 A)
Friend of ZI Nathan Guerra won Zone 3 A’s two weeks ago, so we encouraged him to try the more competitive Zone 2. He did it, and finished a respectable 5th, with Thrall and Bruhn from NeXT taking 1st and 2nd with a Tiny Racing masterclass. Watch Guerra and Thrall’s Tiny Race streams – two incredibly gifted racers with varying strategies:
Urukazi Tiny Races with Nathan Guerra (Zone 3 A)
Friend of the site Nathan Guerra won the Zone 3 A battle and live-streamed all the action, including a rant about not getting the planned anvil powerup for race 4. (Related note: Zwift now thinks they fixed the event misconfig that caused this.) Check it out:

Tiny Race Zone 2 B Commentary
Eric had a long outdoor training ride planned (prepping for a bike trip in a couple of weeks) so he didn’t race the Tiny Races on Saturday. But he sat in and watched the middle time slot, providing some decidedly subpar commentary in a live stream. It was a really fun race, as the two top riders were tied going into race 4!
