Lotta Pauliina Henttala (née Lepistö; born 28 June 1989) is a Finnish racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Women's Continental Team EF–Oatly–Cannondale. She has won the Finnish National Road Race Championships seven times, consecutively between 2012 and 2018.
Career
She competed in swimming and triathlon alongside cycling in her youth, before focusing on cycling after becoming Finnish Under-16 road racing champion. She competed in the 2013 UCI women's road race in Florence. She qualified to represent Finland at the 2020 Summer Olympics, but did not compete due to pregnancy. After not competing professionally during the 2022 season, Henttala will return to the professional peloton in 2023 with UCI Women's Continental Team AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step.
At the 2023 Tour de France Femmes, Henttala was disqualified after holding onto her team car; the directeur sportif of the team was also asked to leave the race. Henttala and AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step later refuted the claims of the commissaires, stating that she "held onto a water bottle for a few seconds but did not hang onto the team car".
Personal life
In October 2019, she married fellow professional cyclist Joonas Henttala, and their first child – a son – was born in January 2022.
