Seven stages. Three worlds. One pink adventure.
Ciao, SISU! The countdown to the 2027 SISU Pinkki is officially underway!
Following a fantastic inaugural edition in 2026, SISU Racing is delighted to unveil the route for the second edition of SISU Pinkki, our seven-stage Grand Tour inspired by the legendary Giro d'Italia.
And for 2027, we're going as Italian as Zwift will allow!
We've put together a fresh parcours featuring exciting new roads, a return to the iconic Bologna Time Trial, and a little detour across the Italian border into Austria for what promises to be a spectacular Queen Stage.
With four longer weekend stages and three shorter midweek challenges, the 2027 edition offers something for everyone — from the sprinters and time trial specialists to the mountain goats who come alive when the road heads skyward.
Get ready to race in pink!
Two Tours, One Pinkki Spirit!
The 2027 SISU Pinkki will once again feature two separate race series — Open Pinkki and Women's Pinkki.
Both editions will tackle the same seven stages, offering riders the opportunity to compete for stage victories, classification jerseys and team honours in their respective competitions.
Whether racing in the Open or Women's edition, every rider will experience the same challenging parcours, the same opportunities for glory and, most importantly, the same SISU spirit.
A Fresh Parcours for 2027
Innovation is at the heart of SISU Racing, and this year's Pinkki is no exception.
With the opening of new roads in Watopia, we've embraced the opportunity to introduce several new routes to the Pinkki programme, creating a fresh racing experience with plenty of opportunities for attacks, breakaways and thrilling finishes.
And what would an Italian-inspired Grand Tour be without a visit to the Italian Villas?
The picturesque cobbled streets and Italian architecture of Watopia provide the perfect backdrop for our celebration of Italian cycling. There may not be roadside tifosi waving pink flags, but we can certainly imagine them cheering as the SISU peloton races past!
The legendary Bologna Time Trial returns for 2027, giving riders another opportunity to test themselves against the clock. At just 8 kilometres, it may be the shortest stage of the Tour, but that famous uphill finish will ensure every second is hard-earned.
Seven Stages, Seven Opportunities for Glory
Stage 1 | 8–9 May
Pacific Pursuit, Watopia – 54.0 km
The Grande Partenza! We launch Pinkki on the new roads of Watopia with a rolling opening stage that will test the peloton and provide the first opportunity to claim the coveted Pinkki leader's jersey.
Stage 2 | 11–12 May
California Roll, Watopia – 33.2 km
Another adventure on the new roads! A relatively flat stage where the sprinters will be eyeing their first big opportunity. Expect fast racing, tactical positioning and an explosive finish.
Stage 3 | 15–16 May
The Big Ring, Watopia – 48.9 km
A classic Watopia route featuring the Italian Villas and plenty of opportunities for the fast finishers. But with almost 50 kilometres of racing, will the sprinters' teams be able to control the breakaway?
Stage 4 | 18–19 May
Bologna Time Trial, Bologna – 8.0 km
Back by popular demand! The Bologna Time Trial returns to Pinkki, with riders tackling the famous uphill finish. It's a race against the clock where pacing, determination and a healthy dose of SISU will be essential.
Stage 5 | 22–23 May
Lutscher CCW, Innsbruck – 52.1 km
THE QUEEN STAGE
For the first time in Pinkki history, we're crossing the border into Austria!
Inspired by the Giro's tradition of venturing beyond Italy, our Queen Stage takes us to the spectacular alpine roads of Innsbruck.
With approximately 950 metres of climbing, this is where the mountain goats will have their moment. Expect significant time gaps, shattered legs and potentially a major shake-up in the General Classification.
The Pinkki jersey could be won or lost on these Austrian slopes!
Stage 6 | 25–26 May
Laps Camera Traction, Watopia – 17.4 km
After the punishment of the Queen Stage, we're back on the new Watopia roads for a short, fast and punchy race. With tired legs across the peloton, this could be the perfect opportunity for an opportunistic breakaway.
Stage 7 | 29–30 May
Zwift Bambino Fondo 2022, Watopia – 55.8 km
The grand finale!
Our final stage features a challenging mix of terrain, with a sting in the tail as riders tackle the Volcano KOM towards the finish.
After seven stages of racing, the final kilometres could still decide the overall classification.
One final effort. One final opportunity. One final chance to make Pinkki history.
More Than Just the Pink Jersey
As with all SISU Grand Tours, Pinkki is about much more than winning the General Classification.
Across seven stages, riders will have opportunities to chase stage victories, sprint and mountain classifications, and team honours.
Whether you're racing for the podium, supporting your teammates, chasing a personal best or simply aiming to complete all seven stages, there's a place for everyone in the SISU Pinkki peloton.
And of course, we'll once again welcome riders from across the global Zwift community to join the adventure.
The Pinkki Adventure Awaits!
From the Italian-inspired streets of Watopia to the famous climb in Bologna and the spectacular mountains of Innsbruck, the 2027 SISU Pinkki promises a fresh and exciting celebration of Grand Tour racing.
Seven stages across four weekends, with plenty of opportunities to create new memories, forge friendships and experience the determination, resilience and courage that define SISU Racing.
So dust off your climbing legs, prepare your sprint and get ready for another unforgettable adventure in pink.
The 2027 SISU Pinkki runs from 8–30 May 2027.
Seven stages. Three worlds. One pink adventure.
Let's go racing!
