Yes please! I captured the polka dot and orange and was bummed my jersey didn’t change. I was all set to get a screenshot in case it never happened again. Lol.
I know my wife would appreciate this.
+1 !! I vote for these jerseys for women!!!
Seems plenty of time has transpired and really too much since being promised this would happen. Seems Zwift developers are sending a message regarding their view of women and cycling…
I love Zwift and have shared it with all my female (and male) riding friends. I’ve really enjoyed earning the polka dot once and would love the incentive to try to earn the others. Please bring jersey equality to the sexes! (Thanks!)
Would love to see this happen!!
When will the ladies be able to earn the green and orange jersey’s. This would be an awesome motivation tool to give those sprints an extra hard push and stay on the gas for a full lap.
C’mon guys, this is seriously low hanging fruit. Just get it done already!
This seriously should have been done in Beta testing Zwift. It’s not an equality thing it’s just a something that should have been done before women had to start paying for the same product us guys get
- It would really be nice to be treated equally as the men. We should be able to win and earn the same things as the men. It would also make women feel more welcome to the program. Please take care of this.
+1
I chose to ignore this when Zwift was still in Beta, but now it’s just rude. Another blatant example of discrimination in the cycling world. I’m new to cycling and didn’t really believe the stories, thank you Zwift for clearly demonstrating that in the cycling world women are an after thought.
I’m really confident the great team at Zwift will do this and hopefully soon. I think we can all agree they were very busy on a very big expansion recently and knowing they are a small team I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt and not assume anything negative here. Let’s hope they chime in with an official update soon too.
I agree that this is far too long coming! I’ve only been on Zwift a week and was so surprised there was only a KoM jersey for women. I’ve been lucky to get the overall lap jersey and sprinter jersey a couple of times (they were quiet periods) but it makes a mockery of the whole thing to not have them.
My cycling club in the UK is 100 years old and if we can offer prizes and competitions for women, you’d think one of the most progressive cycling revolutions to hit the globe would be offering the (surely fairly simple to implement) female jerseys.
And perhaps a top of the range Specialized Amira when you get to the (not yet creates) level 30? Or am I just being greedy?!?
Has it happened yet?
Speaking as the founder and manager of a women’s IRL racing team with 45 members, this needs to happen if you want to start becoming relevant to more women. Immediate umbers are just not an excuse for determining long-term priorities. We have our members beginning to sign up, but you need to give me more to work with to help sell this product to women.
+1 Please pay attention that this is still really important to woman who cycle on Zwift. The sooner this happens, the better. Equality now please!
As of right now, I agree with Kelly, “Another blatant example of discrimination in the cycling world.”
I too would like to see the ORANGE & GREEN jersey plus the multiple jersey holder status being offered to female cyclists and don’t understand as to why it is taking so long?
Zwift have already had in place the polka dot jersey for women QOM’s for well over 6months in the beta mode…so how hard is it implement the GREEN and ORANGE jersey!
Come on ZWIFT we love you…show us some love back :)
This is an inexcusable oversight. I’m giving the benefit of the doubt that it is an oversight, and not an intentional perpetuation of the unwelcoming cycling paradigm toward women. The way to tell the difference would be a prompt correction of the oversight. Please show us you want an equal game platform for all your riders!
Just saw a post (with screenshots) by Rachael Elliott on FB that this feature is now available :-)
Thank you, Zwift Team, for showing the ladies some love. I can’t wait to log on this evening and check it out for myself!
Hi Everyone! Zwift is happy to announce that the women’s sprint and lap jerseys were implemented in todays update! Best of luck to all the ladies riding hard to earn them :)
