Alrighty. I completed Stage 1 this evening. I’ve been doing structured training via TrainerRoad and was able to test out my fitness and I could tell that the structured training has been successful. I felt strong from beginning to the end. I was able to string together many of the different TR techniques I worked on during the ride. I did the 1st 5 or 6 miles alone, but I found a group of 5 riders and we rode the remainder of the ride together and I got in a pretty good sprint to the finish line. My 1st ever group ride was a success. I was a little nervous at first, but those nerves disappeared real quick. I am now scheduled for Stage 2 on Saturday.

Cant find where I finished either, rode stage 1 A yesterday, was in a group we all had a sprint finish but have no idea of results, this was pointless, everybody knows these rides are more or less races, and much fairer than races as you actually are ridding with people of similar capability’s naturally so with the results and the given w/kg you can see how you performed, why do they take this away, If you a steady state group ride you can still do it, but give the results.

Hi Brad, you shouldn’t have to make any direction changes. When you are doing any selected route or event all turns are automatic.
Did it start you in the holding pen?
@Brad_Shifflett also make sure your Zwift app is updated on the most current version.
I think that was the problem, I was not in the holding pen, I was just dropped into an existing ride group already in progress
So Orange jerseys on the tour mean you’re not getting the double XP? That stinks, raced yesterday and group ride this morning was for nothing I guess. One question once I get my update installed, if I start a group ride and don’t finish, do I still get the double XP?
@Travis_DeBruyn
Your avatar should be wearing the Tour of Watopia jersey, not your normal jersey
I checked your session log from this morning, and you’re still on version 1.0.43801. Please update your game app, and reboot for good measure. Next time, you should see the ToW jersey and start seeing double XP moving forward. There isn’t a way to credit you for double XP for the stages you’ve completed already.

Hello all. Today I finished stage 1 of Tour of Watopia but did not get to keep the Kit. What do I need to do to keep the Kit. I saw other riding with it after the race.
You need to complete all stages to get the kit, no one has done that yet obviously. Maybe you saw someone doing the longer or shorter route? Or maybe it was just a glitch. Remember, what you see on Zwift isn’t always what others see. For example, weather/time of day is different for everyone.

Thank you Mike. I thought that you needed to complete them all but then I saw people riding with the kit and it threw me of.
Just finished Stage 1 (B) of TOW and noticed on the Companion App that there is no
leaderboard. All previous Tours have shown a leaderboard with HR/Power/etc and placement. But there are no leaderboards for this event. Is it because it was not the RACE event? Just Curious. Thanks Zwift.
Hi @James_Hemmersbach, welcome to the forum.
I think your assumption is correct, there are no leaderboards for the Rides, but there are for the Races.
Thanks, I kinda figured that was the case. All the previous Tours Ive done were the RIDES, but they had the leaderboards for those. Just kind of nice to know where one places etc. Thanks again.
Hi Travis.
Zwift support told me that you need to do a minimum of 2km for it to be recorded mayvbe @Gerrie_Delport could confirm. Seems a few of us are in this predicament… with current app up to date end, but not registering at zwift end, so glitch but we miss out. Maybe an announcement should be put out so people know to double check.
Runs appear to have the leaderboard as well.

It happens to me too. When I cross the finish line in a group ride, like Tour of Watopia, my kit changes to my default, but other riders stay in the Tour-kit after the finish line.
It is in all grouprides this happens
I have ridden the A Group Ride and B Group Ride on Stage 1 and have not received double XP on either ride. I completed both rides. I get 30XP per mile and that is it. No bonus at the end.
I am using an Apple TV and a Tacx NEO2.
Anyone else seeing this issue?
Welcome to the forum,
Looking at your screen shot of stage1 short. It look like you were in the orange kit, that is a sign that you have not updated your Zwift app.
For those questioning the lack of a ‘results’ sheet in in ZC for the ToW ‘rides’, as compared to having them in the past, my guess is that Zwift are trying to make this more of a ride, without the ‘I won’ aspect, now that there are actual races running simultaneously. If you want a result, race; if you want to just ride, do the ride.
As for seeing other riders in the ToW kit, I also see this regularly (using ATV): when I end an event (whatever event, it doesn’t seem to matter) I always change back to my normal jersey. It seems that some of the other folks on the ride change back, also, but quite a few seem to stay in the ride jersey (at least from my POV). I find this odd, but have just learned to discount it as it doesn’t affect anything in the game.
