FLAT TILL THE END... THEN ITZA CLIMB! Full Ride in 4K (Watopia Badge)

FLAT TILL THE END... THEN ITZA CLIMB! Full Ride in 4K (Watopia Badge)

The Itza Climb Finish route in Watopia is a tale of two halves: a high-speed, rolling coastline followed by a punishing, back-to-back climb to the finish line! This route is a favourite for Zwift Racing League (ZRL) for a reason—it’s pure suffering at the end.

In this video, I take on the full route, showing you the best strategy for staying in the draft on the flats and how to prepare for the final 6 km uphill battle through the Mayan Jungle. The route ends at the Itza KOM banner, but not before you tackle the Mayan Mountainside KOM right before it!
