SEVEN STAGES, ONE PINK DREAM.
9 - 30 MAY 2026

We’re rolling into the first Grand Tour of the year — the 109th edition of the Giro d’Italia. SISU Pinkki is our tribute to it all — endurance, elegance, and explosive racing spirit. Inspired by the Giro, we’ll turn Watopia pink for seven unforgettable stages. From rolling roads to brutal climbs, coastal stretches to volcanic fire, this is more than a race. It’s a test of resilience, teamwork, and belief.
Here, riders don’t just race each other — they discover what they’re capable of. This is where grit meets glory.


Stage 1 – Sugar Cookie | Watopia
Saturday, 9 May
A sweet start with a sharp edge. Sugar Cookie delivers fast, punchy terrain designed to light up the legs and set the tone for the week. Expect aggressive racing, early attacks, and the first shake-up of the Pinkki classification.


Stage 2 – Radio Rendezvous | Watopia
Tuesday, 12 May
Rolling climbs and tactical opportunities define this classic Watopia test. Radio Rendezvous rewards smart positioning and controlled power, with enough elevation to challenge the climbers while keeping the race wide open.

Stage 3 – Watts of the Wild | Watopia
Saturday, 16 May
This is where the race starts to bite. Watts of the Wild is a raw, power-driven stage that favors the brave and the bold. Breakaways can thrive, but only riders with true grit will survive the relentless pressure.

Stage 4 – Beach Island Loop (Individual Time Trial) | Watopia|
Tuesday, 19 May
The race against the clock. On the exposed roads of Beach Island Loop, every rider stands alone. Aerodynamics, pacing, and mental strength rule here, as precious seconds can be gained—or heartbreakingly lost.

Stage 5 – Shorelines and Summits | Watopia
Saturday, 23 May
A breathtaking blend of beauty and brutality. Calm coastal roads give way to punishing climbs, making this a prime stage for GC contenders to show their hand. Expect fireworks as fatigue starts to creep in.

Stage 6 – Volcano Climb After Party | Watopia
Tuesday, 26 May
The queen stage. The Volcano demands respect, and only the strongest will dance their way up its slopes. This is where legends are made, limits are tested, and the Pinkki jersey may be won—or lost.

Stage 7 – Dust In The Wind | Watopia
Saturday, 30 May
A dramatic finale that rewards resilience. Dust In The Wind is unpredictable and relentless, offering one last chance for heroics. Whether sprinting for glory or defending hard-earned positions, riders will empty the tank in true SISU style.
