Kim Cadzow

Kim had a huge season in 2024. She started the year by winning the New Zealand time trial national championship before taking a stage and the general classification at the Trofeo Ponente in Rosa, her first stage race of the season. She put in an impressive performance at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, narrowly missing out on the win. Kim made her Olympic debut and finished seventh in the time trial.

The kiwi came to cycling after a short stint in triathlon, a sport she took up as a teenager. When she grew tired of constant running injuries, she made the switch to cycling and has loved every minute of it.

She excels both in time trialing and on long climbs and appreciates the straightforwardness of both disciplines. Racing a TT or a climb means she doesn’t have to worry too much about tactics and can focus on pedaling and pushing herself to her limits, something Kim loves to do.

2025 will be Kim’s third season as a pro. Given how quickly she’s learned the ins and outs of the peloton and how motivated she is, 2025 promises to be a great year.

Off the bike, she loves to relax with her husband by going for an easy ride or watching movies together.

That no matter how much I’m hurting, everyone else is hurting the same. Then it becomes mind over matter. Who’s got the strongest willpower?
