Quinn Simmons is the new Quinn Simmons

[Sciatic]

severe leg injury + severe lack of motivation + lucrative early contract with BMC. By the time he retired, any minor physical inconvenience was enough to make him sit out from races.

This Simmons quote is really relatable:


I think (hope) he'll be better emotionally equipped to deal with such injuries next time.

He is being real—not every rider would be that transparent.

He invested that early lucrative contract into a company that all of us would love to own just 5% of. He is a wise young man.

which company?

That I probably- maybe(?) shouldn't divulge, but is pretty common knowledge around the local cycling scene. He had a very direct connection to it as a racer.

[pastronef]

Not there. Really strange.

 

[Landeirovic]

He also will not do the NC next week.

 

[Ricco']

Curiously, he uploaded an instagram story yesterday training with a couple of riders in what I believe should be the US of A but, what's more interesting to me is that he was riding without a bike computer, what I found strange for a pro professional cyclist, even more for one who regularly would post or comment about the wattage he would do in training.

Mcnulty big favorite

 

[ManicJack]

Mcnulty big favorite

On paper for sure. My money is on Tyler Stites. He'll get a Euro based contract for next year.

 

[Landeirovic]

ITT easy win Mcnulty. Road race is very hard. Always up and down. Mcnulty have Cole from the development team as team mate.

 

[memyselfandI]

Just took a quick look to his Strava profile.. It looks like latest activity is October 1, 2020, so tad over 3 years stack of files removed. Sounds not that stable.

Colby Simmons is contesting the Championship today.
