When I go to stage four of the 2022 tour of Watopia to get a description of each stage, map details are missing. Is it safe to assume to that this page will be updated as the other stages?
It might be, but donât bet on it.
Since Handful of Gravel is a completely new route, created just ahead of the ToW for launch during the event, there isnât really much to go on. (If my memory serves, Januaryâs Tour de Zwift also featured a completely new route â Castle to Castle â the route of which wasnât fully illustrated in the Companion app until after that stage had run.)
You can almost certainly trust whatâs in Zwift Insiderâs page on it: âHandful of Gravelâ Route Details (Watopia) | Zwift Insider
It seems to be a so-called âlollipopâ route, featuring a lead-in feeding into a loop. From what Iâve understood, stage 4âs various ride options are just the same route with two, three or five loops round it.
Edit: number of loops corrected.

Hey Cindy,
The maps should be showing by the time we get to that stage. The team are working on it presently.

Looking ahead to this Sundayâs stage 2 âTriple Flat Loopsâ, the map is still unavailable in Companion. Hoping the team will deliver before those rides start.
You should be able to find info on some of these new routes at this link, since they were Zwift Insider Rebel Routes before they made it into Zwift (they are in the âTamed Rebelsâ section):

Yup, all the detailed information has been available over on Zwift Insider for a long time.
Iâm putting myself in the shoes of all the new and irregular users whoâll be looking at routes just a short time before they plan to ride and wonât have the reflex to look on a third-party site.
IMO, Zwift should really get this kind of scene-setting work done before marquee events like the Tours are published/launched. Call me a stickler.
