April 26th Routes – New France
This week features four new routes from Zwift’s latest France expansion.
| Race 1: Croissant (3.241km, ends at Dos d’Âne Sprint Reverse) We’ll start with a very short race – perhaps the shortest we’ve ever done. The final uphill sprint is both visually cool (looping back on itself) and painfully uphill! Powerup: none |
| Race 2: Gentil 8 (6.877km, ends at Ballon Sprint) This time we tackle the new roads in the other direction (CCW) before hopping onto older France roads and finishing on the fast and tricky Ballon Sprint. Powerup: Draft Boost (2x) |
| Race 3: Hell of the North (6.242km, ends at Dos d’Âne Sprint) Starting from the old France pens, we hit Les Intestins then hop onto the new roads for the final spur of this short route. It’s another long, uphill sprint finish! Powerup: none |
| Race 4: Bon Voyage (6.716km, ends at Sprinteur Sprint Reverse) This race starts just like race 1, but we’ll continue on and finish a few kilometers down the road. Powerup: Aero Boost (2x) |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format features four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
You earn points based on your finishing position in each race. The overall win goes to whoever earns the most points across all four races.

ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays the finish order in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, be patient.)
Riders earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week is the rider with the most points across their zone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each zone’s latest results on ZwiftPower:
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week ~10% of our racers get disqualified. Don’t let that be you! Three simple rules:
- You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
- No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not – you will be DQ from race 4.)
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
Join a Chat & Chill Cooldown
Immediately following each hour’s racing we’ve scheduled 30-minute “Chat & Chill” events where riders from all categories can spin their legs together and chat about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.
