ABOUT

The Zwift World Champs Week celebrates the 2018 UCI World Championships in Innsbruck-Tirol. Choose from daily events similar to the races happening that day. The week starts off with the Time Trial events, where riders battle against the clock. The aim simple, but not easy: get aero, ride hard, and push through the pain until the very end. The UCI Road Races begin midweek. Get ready to get caught up in the fun because the World Championships create an atmosphere like no other.

EVENT INFO

The big day is here! The world's best professional riders race today for the title of Elite Men Road World Champion. Experience what it's like to line up with your fellow Zwifters as you compete on the same course.

CHOOSE YOUR GROUP

A GROUP = 130km. The Elite Men are racing 260km and our A Group is riding half that distance, 130km
B GROUP = 23.6km. If riding 130km is too long, join the B group for 1 lap of the UCI Worlds Short Course.

Note: The A Group does not mean it's faster and the B Group does not mean it's slower. The A Group is riding longer.

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 official winner. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish.

COURSE INFO

It begins in Innsbruck on a flat road which crosses the Sill river then heads beneath the Inntal Autobahn overpass before hitting the big climb. At 7.4km (4.6 miles) with an average grade of 5.4% the Innsbruck climb is similar to Watopia’s Epic KOM in terms of difficulty.
