Human Powered Health is excited to welcome Titia Ryo as she steps up to the Women’s WorldTour through 2027.
The 20-year-old finished second in the youth classification at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and is focused on her development as an athlete.
“I’m excited to make the move to a WorldTour team,” says Ryo. “I’m excited to race with experienced athletes, and I want to learn at the biggest level of the sport from my teammates and the staff. This is a new step for me, and Human Powered Health is perfect for me because it is a fun team, but performance-focused, and I love this.”
From Quimper in Brittany, France, Ryo signs from Arkéa – B&B Hotels Women and is part of a crop of exciting French talent that has emerged through the junior ranks. She has already shown sparks of this promise in her first two seasons as a professional, with second place overall at the 2024 Volta a Portugal and a run of podium places in youth classifications at various stage races.
“We are thrilled to bring Titia on board for the coming seasons,” says Ro De Jonckere, General Manager. “She is an exciting young talent who has already shown great promise at some of the toughest races at the WorldTour level. We are looking forward to nurturing her ability and having her skills develop alongside the team.”
Ryo started cycling with her twin brother in the youth category, inspired by their father, who was racing at an amateur level. Off the bike, Ryo resides in Nice in the south of France, enjoys hiking, and until this year was studying sports sciences, something she enjoys applying to her development as an athlete.
In 2025, she competed in both the Vuelta a España and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the latter of which was personally significant, with stage 2 finishing in her hometown of Quimper. With her name adorning the roads and her family out supporting, it was particularly poignant.
“The Tour is so big and it is so great for women’s cycling,” she explains. “After the Tour, I said, ‘Wow, this was a great experience’. It was the best level of racing and I learned a lot.”
Ryo will be the youngest athlete on the roster and is looking forward to working with the team to improve every aspect of herself as an athlete, engaging with experts on the staff to focus on the four pillars of performance.
“Joining Human Powered Health will help me develop my training, nutrition, my gym work and every point which is really good for me,” she says. “The goal is to also have fun alongside performance, and this is a great environment for me because that is also my personality.”
