ZONDACRYPTO AWARDS TDFFAZ TEAM WITH €20,000 IN ZND TOKENS AFTER GC PODIUM

Having personally attended the latter stages of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift for zondacrypto, CEO Przemysław Kral witnessed Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney step onto the General Classification podium after an impressive final stage fight-back from fourth place. Inspired by the result and the team’s collective performance, Kral felt compelled to arrange a special gesture of recognition.

As a result, zondacrypto will award €20,000 worth of ZND tokens to the CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift team – shared equally among the seven riders: Ricarda Bauernfeind, Neve Bradbury, Chloé Dygert, Soraya Paladin, Agnieszka Skalniak-Sójka, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, and four-time overall podium finisher Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney.

Reflecting on his time at the race, Kral shared:

“It was incredible to spend the weekend with the Canyon//SRAM zondacrypto team. Saturday was tough – full of hard work and teamwork – and Sunday proved just how much that matters, with absolutely amazing results. This kind of energy deserves more than just applause.

While progress has been made in women’s cycling, there’s still work to do when it comes to recognition, rewards and closing the gap to the male counterparts. At zondacrypto, we’re committed to supporting that progress through meaningful sponsorship. We believe in action over words so we’ve decided to award the riders a bonus in ZND tokens — because we believe this kind of energy and performance deserves more than just applause.”

Kasia expressed her appreciation for the gesture and noted her admiration for zondacrypto’s modern, progressive approach.

“I was extremely surprised and happy to be receiving extra crypto tokens as a bonus for the podium place at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. It’s nice that they want to make us feel appreciated and additionally reward us for the hard work we put in. It also shows again how zondacrypto is involved in women’s cycling and cycling in general, which is really respectable.”

zondacrypto, the team’s third title partner, is a cryptocurrency exchange platform founded in 2014 and now headquartered in Estonia. It has since grown into one of Central and Eastern Europe’s leading digital asset investment platforms. ZND tokens are the native cryptocurrency of zondacrypto, designed for use across their platform and ecosystem.

Their latest gesture following the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift highlights an unwavering passion for cycling and a deepening commitment to the sport. This is further reflected in their support for the women’s editions of major events such as Strade Bianche Women, Sanremo Women, Tour de Pologne (both men’s and women’s races), and Giro d’Italia Women. zondacrypto sees strong value in the rapid rise of women’s sport, a belief also reflected through their individual sponsorships of CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto riders Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Tiffany Cromwell.
