One-day races and classics Quinn Simmons (born May 8, 2001) is an American road cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Lidl–Trek.

[2] Simmons' first sport was ski mountaineering, for which he won the bronze medal in the cadet category in the 2017 World Championships.

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.

[11] On stage 6, he got into the first Tour breakaway of his career, which included Jakob Fuglsang and the yellow jersey of Wout van Aert.

On stage 14, he rode hard up one of the middle climbs as part of a planned strategy to extend the gap over the peloton, and if possible drop riders from the group for the benefit of Pedersen.

In the incident, he used a black hand emoji in response to an anti-Trump tweet from Dutch cycling journalist José Been, who essentially said that they wanted nothing to do with anyone who supported the Trump presidency.
