Welcome to the 2026 Sisu Pinky. Seven stages, one pink dream. Bring your consistency and your Cisu. The 9th to the 30th of May 2026, we're rolling into the first grand tour of the year, the 109th edition of the Giro d'Italia. Sisu Pinky is our tribute to it all. Endurance, elegance, and explosive racing spirit. Inspired by the Giro will turn Watopia pink for seven unforgettable stages. From rolling roads to brutal climbs, coastal stretches to volcanic fire, this is more than a race. It's a test of resilience, teamwork, and belief. Here, riders don't just race each other, they discover what they're capable of. This is where grit meets glory. Stage one Sugar Cookie Watopia Saturday, the ninth of May. A sweet start with a sharp edge. Sugarcookie delivers fast, punchy terrain designed to light up the legs and set the tone for the week. Expect aggressive racing, early attacks, and the first shakeup of the pinky classification. Stage two, Radio Rendezvous Watopia, Tuesday, the twelfth of May. Rolling climbs and tactical opportunities define this classic Watopia test. Radio Rendezvous rewards smart positioning and controlled power with enough elevation to challenge the climbers while keeping the race wide open. Stage three, Watts of the Wild Watopia. Saturday the sixteenth of May. This is where the race starts to bite. Watts of the Wild is a raw, power driven stage that delivers the brave and the bold. Breakaways can thrive, but only riders with true grit will survive the relentless pressure. Stage four Beach Island Loop. This is our individual time trial on Watopia. Tuesday the nineteenth of May, the race against the clock, the exposed roads of Beach Island Loop. Every rider stands alone. Aerodynamics, pacing, and mental strength rule here as precious seconds can be gained or heartbreakingly lost. Stage five Shorelines and Summits Watopia Saturday the twenty third of May. A breathtaking blend of beauty and brutality. Calm coastal roads give way to punishing climbs, making this a prime stage for GC contenders to show their hand. Expect fireworks as fatigue starts to creep in. Stage six Volcano Climb After Party Watopia Tuesday the twenty sixth of May. The Queen Stage. The volcano demands respect, and only the strongest will dance their way up its slopes. This is where legends are made, limits are tested, and the pinky jersey may be won or lost. Stage seven Dust in the Wind Watopia Saturday the thirtieth of May. A dramatic finale that rewards resilience. Dust in the wind is unpredictable and relentless, offering one last chance for heroics. Whether sprinting for glory or defending hard earned positions, riders will empty the tank in true Cisu style.
