Round up your crew and get stuck into Monday night chase racing, Kiwi style!
An established weekly fixture on the Zwift calendar, Kiwi Crew Riot Racing brings a regular crew together for a handicap chaser / chop-style battle for line honours.
Racing uses Zwift Power Pacer Categories, with D starting first, followed by C, B and A, separated by customised time gaps. The challenge is simple: work together to reach the finish first. Can D stay away, or will the chasing categories reel them in before the line?
Big watts alone won’t win this one. Share the work, keep your crew together and time your efforts. Burn your teammates on the first climb, and you might find yourself doing a very lonely time trial. The winning crew will need to race as a team.
Bring your crew. Share the work. Join the riot.

Scoring rules
Scoring in a chase race is simple: first across the line takes the win! The staggered starts give the earlier categories a head start over the faster groups behind, but once the chase begins, it comes down to finishing order. Work with your crew to stay away or reel in the riders ahead, then make your final effort count.
A monthly GC ladder also lets riders follow the results from each race and track their overall standing as the month unfolds.
