Cyclingnews • • sports
Key Points:
- Quinn Simmons has maintained a perfect record at the USPro Road Race National Championships since turning professional in 2020, winning all three of his appearances with aggressive solo riding tactics.
- Each national title earned Simmons a spot on the Lidl-Trek team for the Tour de France, where he aims to win a stage while wearing the stars-and-stripes jersey, a goal he describes as his biggest dream of the season.
- Simmons is motivated by the upcoming departure of Lidl-Trek's General Manager Luca Guercilena, having won multiple races since receiving Guercilena’s encouragement to secure victories before his exit.
- The 198.6km USPro race featured intense attacks, with Simmons ultimately breaking away solo with 29km to go, securing victory on Father's Day in Charleston, West Virginia, where his father was present.
- Following his national championship win, Simmons quickly returned to Europe to prepare for his fourth Tour de France, continuing his pursuit of success on the world stage with Lidl-Trek.
