Launch of the Stonegrinder Series on Zwift

The Stonegrinder Series has been added to Zwift's race calendar, set to commence on November 4 and running for eight weeks. This series includes short races that feature Sprint or KOM segments on Zwift's brick and cobble surfaces.

Each race will focus on a single designated segment, with efforts ranging from approximately 20 seconds to several minutes. Only the fastest valid time for that segment will contribute to the league standings, with the added challenge of increased rolling resistance from the surfaces.

Drafting and powerups are disabled, and time trial bikes are not permitted, although participants can choose any bike and wheel combination. Races will have four start times each day to accommodate global participation, and standings will be determined by the number of rounds completed and the lowest cumulative segment time.
