A virtual indoor cycling competition enables riders to participate from home on indoor trainers. The event runs for seven stages over one week and uses a stage-racing structure that includes accumulated fatigue and daily tactical decisions. The overall winner is determined by a General Classification system based on the fastest cumulative time across all stages. A prize fund totaling one million dollars is split equally between men and women across six categories. Every finisher receives a MyWhoosh gift pack worth over $700 regardless of placement. The 2025 edition included riders from 47 countries and covered more than 200,000 virtual kilometers, with plans to expand participation for 2026.
"That's right, thanks to MyWhoosh, cyclists have a chance to "race" a week-long tour right from their living rooms. And with serious money on the line, too. The prize for winning is a million dollars! But hold your horses. Those $1,000,000 are actually in a fund that is to be split equally between men and women across six categories. Still probably worth it to try to win though, right?"
"Every finisher will also receive a BRAND NEW CAR!!! Just kidding. Every finisher gets a MyWhoosh gift pack worth over $700. And that is regardless of your result. So still good for those into riding indoors."
"The MyWhoosh virtual cycling competition follows a 7-stage format over one week. Cyclists will be competing from their indoor trainers at home. Unlike typical cycling e-sports that focus on single races, this event mimics the multi-day experience of professional stage racing, complete with accumulated fatigue and daily tactical decisions."
"The competition uses a General Classification system where the rider with the fastest cumulative time across all seven stages wins. This maintains the same category structure and prize distribution as in previous years."
