==================================================================

Chiara Consonni (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) claimed a dominant victory at the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women’s race, securing two stage victories, the overall general classification, and the points classification.

The three-day race, which moved from late-June to mid-August, featured a competitive field with seven WorldTeams, four ProTeams, and a combination of Continental, club, and national teams. The event was across three days of racing, with the opening stage being a 105.7km race.

Consonni's journey to victory began on the opening stage, where she outkicked Clara Copponi (Lidl-Trek) and Kathrin Schweinberger (Human Powered Health) in the bunch sprint to win Stage 1. This victory earned her the leader’s jersey, a position she held until the end of the race.

The final stage was a challenging one, with a tough uphill cobbled drag finish that showcased Consonni's versatility and sprinting strength. The final sprint was a close battle between Schweinberger, Copponi, and Consonni, but the Italian sprinter emerged victorious.

Consonni's dominance was evident in the overall standings, where she finished with a 13-second lead over second place Zanetti and an additional 8 seconds to third place Schweinberger.

Throughout the race, Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto provided strong team support, controlling the finales to deliver Consonni into ideal sprint positions. This collaboration was crucial in Consonni's success, especially in the challenging final stage.

Consonni's win in the 2025 Tour de Pologne marked her first race win of the season, breaking a string of second and third places and providing a significant boost to her confidence. The victory was also a significant milestone for the zondacrypto team, as it was achieved on home turd during their sponsorship of the race.

Consonni expressed her happiness about racing in Poland, praising the local fans and atmosphere. She stated that her goal for the sprint was achieved, and she was thrilled with her performance.

The race also saw Iurani Blanco (Human Powered Health) attempt a solo breakaway, gaining nearly a minute on the peloton before being reeled in before the intermediate sprint for time bonuses.

In summary, Chiara Consonni's dominant performance at the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women’s race included:

  • Winning Stage 1 (a bunch sprint) and Stage 3 (a tough uphill cobbled sprint).
  • Securing overall victory with a 13-second gap.
  • Taking the points classification.
  • Demonstrating strong team support from Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto.
  • Achieving her first victory of the 2025 season, a milestone boosting her confidence.

This race win underscores Consonni's sprint prowess and ability to perform in varied terrains in a prestigious women's WorldTour event.
