Paris-Roubaix Femmes runner-up Katia Ragusa leads a trio of powerful riders joining the Human Powered Health women’s squad for 2024. Fellow Italian Silvia Zanardi and young Swiss climber Linda Zanetti also move for one-year contracts.

Ragusa made a statement last year with her move in a 114km day-long breakaway at Paris-Roubaix to finish on the podium for Liv Racing TeqFind. The 26-year-old Italian has all-round talents with eight years of experience, having taken top 10 results at Branbantse Pijl, Giro dell’Emilia and Women’s Tour Down Under.
