Zwift Winter-Spring League Rnd 8

Round 8: Innsbruckring

Round 8 of the Zwift Winter-Spring is an all out criterium on one of the most best racing courses on Zwift.

Innsbruckring follows the city centre roads used in the 2018 cycling World Championships but leaves out the massive climb of the Innsbruck KOM.

And while it looks fairly flat at first glance, each of the three laps in Wednesday’s race will take riders over the aptly named leg snapper – a 450m long hill with a 7% average gradient – it’s safe to say the bulk of attacks will happen right there!

Each category of riders will be set off at one minute intervals – a measure that should forces the strongest riders in each cat to set the pace and make the decisive moves.

Zwift Insider has all the Innsbruckring details you’ll need to plan your strategy.

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.
