Whatever your goals or abilities, it’s great having such a diverse bunch of riders sharing the same passion.

🔥⭐ FRR TOUR IGNITE — IT STARTS TOMORROW! ⭐🔥

Tomorrow sees the start of Flamme Rouge Racing’s Tour Ignite, and it should be a cracker for everyone from 4STAR getting involved.

FRR has put together an 8-stage tour running from 3–11 October, covering roughly 300 km with around 2,500 m of climbing. Along the way there’s a mixture of rolling and hilly stages, two individual time trials, a rest day, and a Queen Stage to finish it all off.

43 km | 327 m | Rolling

🏆 THERE’S MORE THAN JUST GC

Tour Ignite includes competitions for General Classification, Sprint, Polka/Climbing and Teams. FRR uses its class-based system so riders compete within their own gender and rider classification, meaning there are competitions happening throughout the field rather than everything simply being about who crosses the line first overall.

There are multiple race times available for each stage to cater for riders around the world, and your first completed attempt at each stage is the one that counts.

And importantly, FRR racing itself is free to enter — you don’t need a paid subscription simply to race.

⭐ GOOD LUCK 4STAR!

We’ve got a number of 4STAR riders getting amongst Tour Ignite, so it’ll be great seeing plenty of familiar names and 4STAR colours throughout the next nine days.

Whether you’re chasing GC, hunting sprint or climbing points, targeting individual stages or simply challenging yourself to complete the entire Tour — enjoy it.

Eight stages.
Around 300 km.
Two iTTs.
One Queen Stage.
And undoubtedly a fair amount of suffering. 😂🔥

Good luck to everyone lining up tomorrow. Support each other, share your results and screenshots, and let us know how your Tour is going.

🔥⭐ ZRL RACE 2 — DONE & DUSTED! ⭐🔥

Well done to everyone who lined up for Race 2 of ZRL on Innsbruckring!

There were some fantastic individual and team performances across the 4STAR squads, and it was awesome to see everyone battling right through to the finish. 👊

As expected, the Leg Snapper claimed a few victims along the way. 😂 That little climb has a habit of looking harmless on paper and then absolutely tearing races apart!

Whether you were fighting at the front, hanging onto a group, chasing back after the climb or simply digging deep to get yourself across the line — well done. Every finishing position mattered, and it was great to see everyone get it done.

Most importantly, another night of plenty of 4STAR colours across the leagues. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

But there’s not much time to relax…

🔥 RACE 3 — MAKURI 40 🔥

Next week we head to Makuri Islands for one lap of Makuri 40.

Around 40 km of fast racing awaits, with a completely different challenge from the repeated punches of Innsbruckring.

We’ll put out a full Race 3 course breakdown and availability check shortly.

For now, recover those legs and enjoy getting Race 2 in the books.

Two down. Onto Race 3. 🔥🚴

Great work, team!

🔥⭐ ZRL RACE 2 — INNSBRUCKRING ⭐🔥

Good luck to everyone lining up for Race 2 of ZRL this week!

This week we’re heading to Innsbruck for a Scratch Race on Innsbruckring. There are no intermediate points to worry about — your finishing position is what matters.

🏁 RACE FORMAT

A & B Grade: 4 laps — 35.4 km / 309 m elevation
C & D Grade: 3 laps — 26.6 km / 232 m elevation

Each lap is around 8.8 km with 77 m of climbing. Most of the circuit is fast and relatively flat, but there’s one very obvious place where this race is going to hurt.

🔥 THE LEG SNAPPER

This is the big one.

Around 5 km into each lap, you’ll hit the Leg Snapper — approximately 430 m at 6.9%. It’s short enough to be ridden very hard and steep enough to split the bunch.

Expect roughly 50–75 seconds of serious work each time through. Positioning before you reach it will be important — you don’t want to begin the climb already chasing wheels.

And remember: the climb isn’t finished when the gradient hits zero.

Keep the pressure on over the top and get back up to speed quickly. That’s where gaps can open and groups can split. Earlier in the race, dropped groups may be able to chase back on; on the final lap, that’s much less likely.

⚡ THE REST OF THE LAP

After the Leg Snapper there’s a fast descent followed by the Innsbruck Sprint around 6.8 km. There are no points available at the sprint this week, so there’s no need to burn matches chasing a segment result.

Get back into the draft, recover where you can and prepare to do it all again.

🏁 THE FINAL LAP

This is where things should really light up.

Anyone wanting to avoid a bunch sprint has an obvious opportunity to put pressure on over the final Leg Snapper. If you’re still with the front group over the top, you’ve got roughly 3.5 km of downhill/flat racing remaining before the finish.

Then it’s all about positioning, wheels and timing.

Don’t get caught doing unnecessary work at the front. Find the right wheel, stay switched on and be ready when the final moves start.

🔥 MOST IMPORTANTLY…

Race hard, support your teammates and give it everything you’ve got.

Some of us will be fighting at the front. Others will be battling for 20th, 30th or 40th.

Every finishing position is worth fighting for.

Good luck to everyone representing 4STAR Racing this week. Fly the colours, back each other and have some fun while you’re suffering! 😂🔥
