Zwift is bringing back the Z Pro Tri Race Series this November. Zwifters can watch the pros over a 3 week race series starting on 11th November or participate in community races, starting on November 6th. These aim to let everyone experience the very same routes the pros will race.
The brand new 3-part race format will test the all-round abilities of racers. Each week will include a Points Race, Scratch Race and an Individual Hill Climb TT.
Triathlon fans will be able to tune in and watch the pros compete each week. Races will be broadcast with commentary provided by Matt Lieto and Sarah True.
Community races cover the same courses, so Zwifters can see how their times size up to some of the best in the world.
“This will be my first Z Pro Race Series after watching in June, I’m excited to jump in and see how hard these races are,” said Holly Lawrence, 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion. “The new quick-fire formats look super tough but I think it will be fun to test a variety of skills in each race.”
The start list for each race contains 20 of the biggest stars in the sport, in both short and long distance racing. Confirmed athletes include Teresa Adam, Holly Lawrence, Laura Philipp, Emma Pallant and Annabel Luxford.
On the men’s side are Alistair Brownlee, Jonny Brownlee, Sebastian Kienle, Joe Skipper and Antony Costes.
Community races start on 6 November. The pros go head to head starting on Wednesday 11 November.
