Quinn Simmons

Simmons' first sport was ski mountaineering, for which he won the bronze medal in the cadet category in the 2017 World Championships.[3] After switching to road cycling, he won the 2019 world junior road race championships, and the 2018 US junior national road race and time trial championships.

On July 22, 2021, Simmons took his first professional victory on Stage 3 of the Tour de Wallonie, taking the overall lead in the process. He managed to maintain his lead until the race's conclusion to win his first professional stage race.[4]

Simmons made his Grand Tour debut in the 2021 Vuelta a España. He was first involved in a breakaway on stage 16, but the group was caught by the peloton in the final kilometers.[5] Three stages later, he was part of another breakaway, which would stay out in front until the finish. Several attacks from Simmons helped reduce the group to only seven riders, and he finished third in the final sprint behind Rui Oliveira and winner Magnus Cort.[6]

Early in the 2022 season, Simmons finished seventh in Strade Bianche. That same week, he raced Tirreno-Adriatico, primarily as a domestique for team leader Giulio Ciccone. On stage 4, he was part of the main breakaway and accumulated enough points to take the lead in the mountains classification and the green jersey.[7] Then, he added to his total on stage 6 and held off pressure from Davide Bais, the nearest competitor, to defend the jersey for the remainder of the race.[8][9]
