Quinty Ton will join Human Powered Health from 2027, bringing six seasons of WorldTour experience and a proven affinity for the spring Classics to the team.
The all-rounder from Tiel in the Netherlands has signed through 2028 and provides valuable versatility, contributing both as a contender and a committed teammate.
“I’ve been in the pro peloton for a few years, and I’ve always been in the same team, so it’s exciting to have a new opportunity,” the 28-year-old said. “You see in the races that the team is always going for an attacking race style, and that’s what I really like.”
Ton joins from Liv AlUla Jayco, has raced in the Liv program since 2021, and is grateful to the team for helping her progression through the sport. Her results have steadily reflected that development, including seventh overall at the 2025 Tour of Chongming Island, ninth at the 2025 Amstel Gold Race and recently, sixth overall at the 2026 Tour de Pologne Women.
In that time, the Classics have become a defining part of her identity as a rider.
“The spring has a special place in my heart,” Ton explains. “This will also be a big goal next year. I would like to contribute to that aggressive style of racing and hope to bring some good results with it for the team.”
Beyond the spring, Ton’s value extends into a dedicated teammate at stage races.
“I also really like to do races where I can work for somebody who has a GC result,” she said. “Working for somebody who aims for a GC result, that is also something that I find rewarding.”
That adaptability is precisely what attracted the team to Ton.
“Quinty is a rider who we believe can bring a lot of value to our team,” Ro De Jonckere, General Manager, said. “She has already built up a lot of experience at WorldTour level, but what really attracts us is her versatility. She is someone who can be competitive in the Classics, handle tough and hilly races, and still have the speed to be there when a race comes down to a reduced group.”
Having started cycling at 18, Ton has spent the past decade progressing through the sport while initially combining racing with her studies and work as a physiotherapist.
“I joined cycling pretty late, but I learned quickly,” explains Ton. “I hope with my experience, I can guide younger or less experienced people in the team on how to approach races in the spring. I know the region in Belgium pretty well now. Every year we still do a recon of the race, but I can almost know the route with my eyes closed.”
Ton’s background in physiotherapy also gives her a particular interest in the team’s links to the Human Powered Health Performance Labs.
“It’s really cool to see what they all provide at the Human Powered Health lab,” she said. “I never experienced so much background data in a team. I’m also really curious if we discover new things that we can work on.”
Ton’s combination of experience, versatility and ambition is crucial for the racing program as it continues to broaden its competitive ambitions.
“Quinty’s results over the last couple of seasons show that she is becoming increasingly consistent at the highest level,” says De Jonckere. “She is also a rider who can take on a lot of responsibility in a race and who understands how to position herself when the important moments come. As we continue to build a team that can be competitive across a wide range of races, those qualities are extremely important to us. We believe Quinty is entering an important phase of her career and that she can take another step with us.”
Ton’s arrival is another step in Human Powered Health’s 2027 ambitions, with further roster announcements to follow shortly.
