Zwift Winter-Spring League Rnd 6

Round 6 – THe magnificent 8

One more race before the Zwift Winter-Spring League hits the halfway point and for Round 6 we take a big loop around Watopia on the Magnificent 8 course.

If you’re easily distracted, this is one to be careful on as it contains plenty of scenery and lots of flat road that can lull you in to a lapse of concentration.

The Magnificent 8 course takes in Downtown, the Volcano, the underwater tunnels and all of the Fuego Flats desert sections. The Reverse KOM is the obvious place for attacks to come but don’t let that fool you – this course has more than a few small kickers where big watts can split up a group.

Separate Groups 

This week, following your feedback, we are also introducing one minute gaps between all the groups – which means the strongest riders in each Cat will need to set the pace themselves if they want to win and should make the racing more competitive.

The course & Entry

Zwift Insider has all the details on The Magnificent 8 route.

You can enter directly on Zwift or the Zwift Companion App and if you’re curious about who else will be on the start line the current entry list on ZwiftPower should start updating from around 24hours before start time.

League After Round 5

Note: The league table is manually compiled only once per week – this happens on Thursday mornings following the previous night’s race.

Any errors of changes that need to be made to the previous week’s table are implemented at this time as well so if you’ve been in touch with a change request during the week bear with us until the Thursday update.
