Career

[edit]

She competed in swimming and triathlon alongside cycling in her youth, before focusing on cycling after becoming Finnish Under-16 road racing champion.[1] She competed in the 2013 UCI women's road race in Florence.[8] She qualified to represent Finland at the 2020 Summer Olympics,[9] but did not compete due to pregnancy.[10] After not competing professionally during the 2022 season, Henttala will return to the professional peloton in 2023 with UCI Women's Continental Team AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step.[11]

At the 2023 Tour de France Femmes, Henttala was disqualified after holding onto her team car; the directeur sportif of the team was also asked to leave the race.[12] Henttala and AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step later refuted the claims of the commissaires, stating that she "held onto a water bottle for a few seconds but did not hang onto the team car".[13]

Personal life

[edit]

In October 2019, she married fellow professional cyclist Joonas Henttala,[14] and their first child – a son – was born in January 2022.[15]
