The 2026 SISU World Championships are heading off the tarmac and onto the dirt for the third and final chapter of our championship series.

We’ve raced against the clock. We’ve raced wheel-to-wheel. Now, on 10–11 October, it’s time to get dusty as the Gravel World Championships take over Handful of Gravel, Watopia — five laps.

There are rainbow jerseys on the line, but there’s something even bigger at stake.

The 2026 SISU World Championships have reached the end of their second chapter, with the Road Race delivering everything we hoped for — tactics, attacks, suffering, sprint finishes and another collection of rainbow jerseys.

After the pure race against the clock of the opening Individual Time Trial, riders swapped pacing plans for race craft as they took on Bambino Fondo, Watopia across 26–27 September.

And now we have our Road Race World Champions.

The clock has stopped, the iTT World Champions have been crowned, and now the 2026 SISU World Championshipsturn their attention to a very different challenge.

It’s Road Race weekend.

On 26–27 September, riders from across the SISU Racing community will line up on Bambino Fondo in Watopia, swapping the solitude of the individual time trial for the tactics, positioning and unpredictability of racing shoulder-to-shoulder in the bunch.

The 2026/27 Zwift Racing League season is underway, and Race 1 delivered just about everything we love about ZRL — hard racing, new faces, familiar teammates, personal bests and, naturally, just enough pre-race mayhem to light up Discord.

SISU Racing entered the new season with a record number of teams, making this our biggest ZRL campaign yet. It was fantastic to see hundreds of riders pulling on the blue and white jerseys across the globe as another season of team racing began.

For the fourth time, SISU Racing is preparing to crown our Club Champions.

Following last season’s championships on the streets of New York, we’re crossing the Atlantic for 2026/27, with Paris and London taking centre stage. Expect big roadside crowds, iconic locations and, hopefully, a few extra watts when they’re needed most!

This year we’re innovating again, with a new three-race, two-discipline format designed to find our fastest and most complete racers.

The waiting is almost over. Tomorrow, the start pens fill, the countdown begins and another season of the Zwift Racing League gets underway.

For SISU Racing, this one is particularly special. We enter our sixth season racing ZRL with our biggest contingent yet: a record-breaking 50 teams and more than 500 riders, making SISU one of the largest communities taking on the series.

Coinciding with the 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montréal, SISU Racing is excited to announce the 2026 SISU Worlds.

Across three weekends, riders will take on the ultimate test of speed, strength and race craft as we crown our 2026 SISU World Champions.

The 2026/27 Zwift Racing League season begins on 22 September 2026, and SISU Racing is ready for another exciting campaign.

The inaugural SISU Punainen reaches its grand finale on Watopia's legendary Mountain Route, where every jersey remains on the line. For seven stages, riders have chased the dream of wearing red. Now, one final test awaits—a route that demands endurance, climbing strength and the determination to leave absolutely nothing behind.

With just two stages remaining, Stage 6 takes riders onto Watopia's demanding Mountain 8 route, where the fight for every jersey reaches fever pitch. Time is running out for riders hoping to claw back seconds in the General Classification, while the battles for the Sprintteri and Vuorikauris (Mountain Goat) jerseys remain far from settled.

Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 September

Stage 5 takes the peloton onto Watopia's Big Loop—a route that rewards patience, endurance and smart decision-making. There are no shortcuts on this stage. Riders will need to manage their effort over the longer distance before tackling one of Watopia's signature climbs, where the race for the Punainen Jersey could take another decisive turn.
