ZWIFT TOUR FOR ALL SET FOR THRILLING FINALE

Heading into the final stage, consistency has been the key for the men’s NTT Pro Cycling Team who lead Alpecin-Felix by some 55 points with Mitchelton-Scott 99 points adrift. The tight-knit Team TIBCO Silicon Valley Bank’s credentials were also strengthened after Leah Dixon picked up the stage victory yesterday. They lead Canyon SRAM and CCC Liv in the overall women’s series.

There will be double points for the Top 10 riders on the Queen Stage (Stage 5).

The Tour for All professional racing series will open a month-long charity fundraising initiative that will see Zwift donate a total of $125,000 to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and its COVID-19 crisis fund. An additional $125,000 can be unlocked once 250,000 people complete a stage of the Tour for All. The professional racing series is designed to showcase the mass-participation stages and encourage Zwifters to take part  by riding some of the same courses that the pros have raced.

WHAT THEY SAID

Men's stage 4 winner Grega Bole (Slovenia) of Bahrain-McLaren:

"The climb was really challenging, so we had to work hard and push down to full gas. On the flat and on the downhill I was a little better on the bank so I could have a little more relaxed ride. It was a good race."

Women's Stage 4 winner Leah Dixon (Britain) of Team TIBCO Silicon Valley Bank: 

"To win a race like this is brilliant! At the end of the day, it’s the only race that’s happening at all right now, so to win it, it’s fantastic. I’ve been so close a couple of times this week so to finally to get there is great."
