It was a heartbreaking end to the 2025 Tour de France Femmes avec
Zwift for Soraya Paladin, who crashed out just as the race was heading
into its final weekend showdown.
The experienced Italian has been an unsung hero of the CANYON//SRAM
zondacrypto team since 2022 – valued not only for her race knowledge
and leadership but also for her strength on the road. She’s even been
dubbed the “most unwinning rider” for the sheer number of UCI Women’s
WorldTour top-10 finishes she has accumulated without yet taking a
WorldTour victory — more than 17 in 2023 alone!
Thankfully, Soraya is now on the road to recovery. Surgery on her broken
collarbone is behind her, her elbow is healing well, and she’s now mobile
enough to resume training on Zwift. Her sights are set on end-of-season
goals, including the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda and the
final four Italian one-day races on the CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto
calendar.
You can join Soraya for a Zwift group ride as she makes peace with the
French roads once again – this time virtually on the R.G.V course. It will
be a steady-state, unstructured ride at a conversational pace, where
Soraya may even be able to answer questions if her elbow allows.
All riders will be equipped with the 2025 CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto
team kit for the duration of the ride. The event is banded, meaning no
one can be dropped.
