The Chop by AHDR

The Chop is a fast, flat, time-based weekly handicap race that gives riders of all abilities a chance to win. With strong numbers, it's the week's premier chase race. “The Chop” is an Aussie cycling expression for a breakaway group that works together to stay ahead before battling it out in the final sprint. It’s a mix of teamwork, tactics and every rider for themselves when the finish line approaches. Riders start in separate grades, from D through to A, with staggered start times designed to bring everyone together for a thrilling finish. Each grade wears a distinctive AHDR/Zwift kit, making it easy to identify who’s chasing and who’s being caught. Held on Thursday evenings, no two races are ever the same. Course selection, rider numbers, tactics and the occasional sandbagger all influence the outcome. Part team time trial, part cat-and-mouse battle, The Chop is all about teamwork, strategy and timing your final attack. Will you survive The Chop and take the glory?

When a race has multiple start times, riders are ranked together by finish duration. Winning one start time does not necessarily mean having the fastest time across all starts; GC medals reflect the combined race placing.

Missed races: A rider receives the average finish time of the slowest 10% of classified finishers in their category for that race, across all its start times. The number of finishers used is rounded up, with at least one. Only the attempt that counts for each rider is included.

If that category has no classified finishers, the fallback is the average of all classified finishers in the applicable race group across its start times. For example, finish times of 40 and 50 minutes give a fallback of 45 minutes. The 10% rule applies to the category calculation. For saved-range GC, the reference group stays within the same competition, league, division and saved range set (such as Range 1 or Range 2), across its categories.

If that race group has no eligible finishers and no fallback time is configured, the rider is excluded from GC because a missed-race time cannot be assigned. GC totals that include an assigned missed-race time are shown in blue.

Riders without a recorded Zwift/FIT source are hidden. RaceCentral is independent of Zwift.
