2020-2021 Zwift Premier Division Season 1 (Zwift Grand Prix) Results – Men

This race is when things got real. Prior to the 2020-2021 season, high level racing was mostly a series of ad hoc, one-off events. But in 2020 Zwift, in partnership with WTRL, announced the formation of the Zwift Racing League (“ZRL”). ZRL is now the biggest community racing event in the world, and it’s freaking awesome. But for our purposes, there were two critical developments here: (1) an invite only Premier Division was introduced as the top level of ZRL, and (2) that Premier Division kicked off what became the longest running and most prestigious professional virtual racing series, evolving into the Premier League in 2021-2022 and the Zwift Grand Prix after that.

Platform: Zwift

Dates: 10.12.2020 – 11.30.2020

Summary of Race Rules: Somewhat straightforward stage points race. The first 30 riders across the finish line score points, starting at 40 and going down to one. Sprint and KOM FAL segments throughout each stage, awarding points to either the top five riders starting at five and going down to one or the top three starting at three. 19 teams participated. The one wrinkle is that, for team results, instead of tallying up all the race points for riders on that team, the team stage winner receives 20 points for that stage, second place 19, third 18, and so on. Then those points are tallied to get the overall team results.

Results*

* Includes only those riders who scored race points in the tour. GC results do not factor in TTT stages.
