ABOUT

Welcome to Zwift's version of the 2018 Amgen Tour of California. We've hand-picked each stage to create a similar experience to what the Pros are racing. You'll get to experience what it's like to compete for 7 straight days over varied terrain and distances.

IS THIS A RACE?

No, it's a personal challenge against the distance and the clock. Some participants will ride the event like a race but there is no winner of Zwift's Amgen Tour of California. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish as many stages as possible. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish as many stages as possible.

STAGE 3 / ZWIFT

The Pros are racing a hilly stage today with multiple KOMs so we picked our Watopia Figure 8 course. It features the Watopia Flat and Watopia Hilly courses combined in both directions. It's up and down for the entire stage.

COURSE: Watopia Figure 8
LAP DISTANCE: 18.4 mi / 29.6 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 770 ft / 234 m

STAGE 3 / REAL WORLD

If the Pro riders were looking for a relaxed day of racing after Gibraltar Road, they need to keep searching. This stage features six KOMs over 122.4 mi / 197 km and 8300 ft / 2450m of elevation gain. Ouch!

Good luck Zwifters!
