The Events:
Despite its relatively short history, since 2007, the Strade Bianche has become a cornerstone of the professional cycling calendar, gaining recognition for its challenging course and the skills required to navigate gravel and dirt roads.

On Sunday, March 9th, zondacrypto's CEO, Przemysław Kral, and CLO, Karolina Gwóźdź, will participate in the Gran Fondo event famed for allowing cyclists of all levels to ride Tuscany's white gravel roads alongside some of the most elite athletes in the world. 

Another Italian Classic, Milano-Sanremo, was first held in 1907 and is one of the most prestigious one-day races in cycling. Known as "La Classicissima", the race tests endurance, strategy, and speed, featuring legendary climbs like the Poggio di Sanremo, where the race is often decided.

On the Sponsorship: 
Przemysław Kral, CEO of zondacrypto, commented: "zondacrypto has made it a priority to support the growth and recognition of European and global athletes. This partnership furthers our mission to strengthen the relationship between digital assets and sport. Sports create an environment filled with positive emotions and memorable experiences. In such an atmosphere, where endorphins are high, learning complex concepts like cryptocurrencies becomes much easier and more engaging. Furthermore, these events hold cultural significance in Italy, and we're honoured to contribute to the rich tradition of European athletics."
