# Ben Healy (cyclist)

Ben Healy (born 11 September 2000) is an Irish professional cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam EF Education–EasyPost. A two time national champion (once each in the road race and time trial), he was selected to compete in the road race at the 2020 UCI Road World Championships.
Healy was born in England and has Irish heritage on his father's side. He pledged his allegiance to Ireland as a teenager.

## Career

Healy took early career stage wins in both the Tour de l'Avenir and Baby Giro. He came to international prominence in 2023 after a strong spring classics season with results including winning the 2023 GP Industria & Artigianato di Larciano and podium finishes in the Amstel Gold Race, between Tadej Pogačar and Tom Pidcock, and Brabantse Pijl, and a 4th place finish in the Liège–Bastogne–Liège.
Following his successful classics season, Healy made his grand tour debut in the 2023 Giro d'Italia, and on 13 May won his first grand tour stage a week later, winning after a solo break of 50 kilometres on stage 8.
The following season, he competed in his first Tour de France, where he was part of the breakaway on multiple stages, finishing fifth on stage 9 and winning the combativity award on stage 14. He next competed in the road race at the Olympic Games, where he placed 10th.
