Kim Cadzow (born 18 December 2001) is a New Zealand professional racing cyclist, who currently rides for the UCI Women's Continental Team EF Education–Oatly.[2] She is the 2025 New Zealand Time Trial and Road Race Champion.
Cadzow's sporting background was as a swimmer and professional triathlete competing mainly in 70.3 triathlon races. Kim swam for Greerton Swim Club in Tauranga, New Zealand specialising in backstroke and Individual Medley races. She was a regular competitor at National Age Group Champs and New Zealand Open Championships.
Her brief period in 70.3 triathlon saw her progress to pro level quickly but she decided to concentrate on cycling after her first attempt at 2021 New Zealand Age Group Nationals produced 3rd place in both the time trial[3] and road race.[4]
In 2022 Kim entered the Elite National Championships in New Zealand and won the Under-23 Time Trial.[5] Shortly afterwards she achieved 2nd in the Oceania Under 23 Time Trial and headed to Europe for her first season with Torelli-Cayman Islands-Scimitar. A standout performance in the Mount Ventoux Denivele Challenge attracted attention from several World Tour Teams, and a move to Team Jumbo-Visma was secured for 2023.
A 2023 highlight was a 3rd place at the 2nd stage of Tour of Scandinavia where Kim showed her climbing ability on the Norefjell.[6] At the end of 2023 Kim ended her contract with Jumbo-Visma and secured a move to EF Education-Cannondale.[7]
2024 was a breakout year for Kim with EF-Education-Cannondale winning the NZ Time Trial event and 2nd in the road race. A GC win at Trofeo Ponente in Rosa, 6th at Liege-Bastogne-Liege, 8th on GC at Tour de Suisse, 10th on GC at La Vuelta Feminina and 7th place in the Time Trial at the Paris Summer Olympics.
2025 has begun with wins at NZ Elite nationals in both the Time Trial and Road races.
