October 24 - 30
Race Like a Champ Stage 4A
Queens Highway

Get ready to Race Like a Champ as you take on the best previous World Championship courses from both esports and road cycling. Stage 4, a special split stage with two events, kicks off October 24 - 30 with back-to-back stage races within the hour.

Race them back to back to get the full experience, or try them individually as many times as you like! In Stage 4A, we have a short, fast lap around the Queens Highway in Yorkshire. Top Tip : don’t let this “flat” route profile fool you, the drag to the finish line is going to take some power to take the win.

Stage 4A and 4B will be visible as two separate events, so make sure you sign up for both of them! 

Complete all four stages, including both races during stage 4, to pick up the “Race Like a Champ” badge.

Get ready to Race Like a Champ as you take on the best previous World Championship courses from both esports and road cycling. Stage 4, a special split stage with two events, kicks off October 24 - 30 with back-to-back stage races within the hour.

All races are different. Here are few tips to keep in mind: 

  • Fast Start - Zwift races almost always start fast!  Be ready to ramp up your power before the countdown reaches zero. Be prepared to hold this high pace for a few minutes. Don’t worry, it will settle into a more sustainable rhythm, eventually.
  • Conserve Energy - You can benefit from drafting behind other riders just like you would in the real world. Drafting effectively throughout a race can help you conserve energy when you need it most, so try to find a nice spot in the middle of the bunch. Watch the riders nearby list for fluctuations in other riders’ power and decide if you need to match it in order to hold your position.
  • Watch The Gap! - Avoid hovering at the back of the pack. Watch for gaps that might appear in front of you. Losing the gap means losing the draft, which makes keeping up with the group difficult. Staying in the middle of the pack is more advantageous if you want to stay fresh throughout the race.
  • Cadence - Use your trainer as the cadence source when you pair it to Zwift and experiment with different cadences at varying points throughout the race. Start with a slow, out of the saddle grind or a pick up speed in a seated spin. It’s your race! 
  • Climbs - be ready to put out more power when the gradient increases and make sure to keep a smooth cadence on the ascent. Maintain your power over the crest of the hills.
  • PowerUps - PowerUps are a key part of any Zwift racing strategy. Knowing when and how to use specific PowerUps will enhance your racing experience. Read more here.

Research Your Race. Do your homework! Knowing the route will make racing easier. The most effective way to do this is to Google the route name ahead of time.
