Co-leader — GC top-10 threat and stage hunter
Ben Healy

The heartbeat of EF's attacking philosophy, Healy turned the 2025 Tour into his personal showcase: a solo stage win, two days in the yellow jersey — Ireland's first since Stephen Roche in 1987 — and ninth in Paris.

The heartbeat of EF's attacking philosophy, Healy turned the 2025 Tour into his personal showcase: a solo stage win, two days in the yellow jersey — Ireland's first since Stephen Roche in 1987 — and ninth in Paris. A fractured sacrum from an April training-recon crash wrecked his 2026 spring, but he returned at the Dauphiné promising to race with 'an air of unpredictability'. Nobody in this Tour attacks more, or from further out.

Cut-out factBorn near Birmingham, England, Healy chose to race for Ireland through his grandparents — and he is a fanatical aero tinkerer who helped design his own extreme, turned-in handlebar position that rivals copy.
