The MyWhoosh Championships 2025 has been officially announced, and this year it’s tooting a $1 million prize pool, along with more stages of competition and more difficult routes.
The MyWhoosh Championships 2025 will include seven days of racing (along with one rest day) from August 12 to August 19 in the cycling simulator. It will cover hundreds of kilometers distance-wise and thousands of meters in elevation gain. The stages will consist of a range of routes, including those that are flat, hilly, and mountainous, as well as a time trial stage.
The competition will be split between men and women, with the prize pool distributed evenly.
There will be six cycling esports categories for both women and men. Teams can have up to six riders, though the team score will come from the top three riders on each team. However, riders will need to complete all prior stages for their points to count (and to be eligible for individual prize money).
As a General Classification event, cumulative time will decide the winners, with breakdowns as follows:
- Top 10 riders in each category
- Top 7 teams in each category
- Top 3 Stage winners
- Daily Sprint and King/Queen of the Mountain
- Overall Sprint and King/Queen of the Mountain champions for the following categories: Top Masters 45+, Top U23 Rider, and Top GCC Rider
Additionally, every finishing rider will receive a MyWhoosh Championships kit, which is worth $500.
