Think you were in this one with me, I think I recognise the name 
Hi Lee, was this morning on figure 8?
Ridon on
Fausto
Are coffee breaks enabled on TOW and also riders late joined today?
Yes to both
Ah no… lunch time on Volcano route.
Today I was riding Watopia Figure 8. It was a late join, so I missed the first 3 minutes. After a few kilometers my avatar took the wrong direction to the italian villas. The whole ride was totally messed up. Here are some impressions…
The start of my solo ride
Wrong direction, guys!
Weird finish arch
Finally, after several years of hard training
And the ride goes on and on, but the target is in sight
Still getting double xp 
This was my longest Watopia Figure 8
I hope this was an exception.
Fairly typical late join experience. Sometimes happens, sometimes not.
Great question. Zwifters on Accelerated Leveling (with three chevrons in their pause menu) will see their rider score go up by 40XP per km in a Tour of Watopia event, while the “Until Next Level” amount will go down by 60XP per km respectively. Our Tracking Your Rider Score article has some additional details.

If you are off level transitioning but still on accelerated leveling the three chevrons disappear (unless that has been fixed recently)
But if you monitor XP to next level drops my 60XP as expected.
So TOW offers double XP… 40 per km rather than 20. But for those on accelerated xp you don’t get the acceleration during events. You only get 40, not doubled to 80. Also doing a stage in a freeride you get 30 rather than 20… and not doubled if you are on accelerated xp. So if you are trying to level up, you actually get less xp for freeriding a stage of TOW than you would just freeriding any other route. Is that as intended?
Can you randomly join a robopacer doing a route on the TOW list to get 30xp per Km?
Do you have to select a route through the TOW homescreen banner to get 30XP per Km on a solo ride, or can you simply choose a TOW scheduled route from the usual Watopia route options?
I think part of the confusion is that some riders are getting the 60XP per KM (20 of which is hidden) for three-chevron Accelerated Leveling, while others are getting the two-chevron Accelerated Leveling, which (again, hidden) lowers the XP needed to level up by 20%.
It took me a while to realize that I was still getting the latter and that my 40XP per KM for ToW rides was indeed correct.
Hello all, any idea how to see our chrono for the stage 1? We didn’t stop the time once the line pass with my friends so our time continued… Usually we’re able to see it and also our ranking. Is Tour of Watopia different on this?
Thank you!
This is what I don’t get. You want people to do the events and level up with accelerated XP. Stage 2 is circa 18 km. That is 720 XP
If I free ride in Tempus Fugit, I get 30 XP and if I jump across to the 3.7 bot - I will easily do 40 km in an hour.
That’s 1,200 XP.
Therefore, other than digital socks or something else that I’ll never use, what’s the point in the ToW?
D.
To explore different routes and ride with others doing ToW…maybe race it some always do.
As you say if you are purely in it for the XP there are better options. Although possibly not in stage 2 as it’s gravel but if you did 3.7 pace in other ToW events you would likely gain more XP than sitting on tempus at 1.5 XP.

I’ve also noticed people in workout mode at 2.5 w/kg easily staying in a much higher w/kg bot group on TF. Another XP hack right there.

How can I easily see which stages I’ve completed so far of 2024 Tour of Watopia? I’m asking for both ride and run.
There used to be finding in the companion app (I think), but apparently not this year. 
Is there some other way?
yeah it’s still there, on the main page of the companion app, a blue section with the ToW logo which basically takes you to the website for the tour. Once you click on “register to ride” it will take you to your page with all the stages you’ve completed.
You can’t see this for running I’m afraid.
