Quinn Simmons is the new Quinn Simmons

[Dazed and Confused]

There are still opportunities left in the race but stage 20 seems the best candidate. Lets go Quinn.

Did you see this QS post-stage quote today (Sun. 7/20)?

“This morning, we had a few differences of opinion on what was going to happen in the stage,” he added. “And unfortunately, I had to spend a bit of energy controlling in the start for something that probably was never going to happen. But you have to do what the radio says.”

I'm guessing he was told to make sure Milan scored intermediate sprint points.

QS: "In the end, we all know it, so you just have to find the way to be the first guy to find that gets separation. If you’re the first guy with the separation, you’re gone."

TW: "Quinn could have attacked first if there was help."

So they are saying the same thing, right?

Dude caught fire in June and is thinking like a killer. Maybe a turning point in his career? Sometimes you can get on a team that’s a little too strong in his area of strengths

Sure seems like it could be; no stage win yet but he's been at the pointy end with some of the best in the sport in the biggest race in the world, and shows no signs of weakening. Pretty big ride from him so far and I will not be at all shocked if he scores a stage.

I'm really enjoying watching him race, and I don't mind the pseudo-drama stirring in his interviews. Imagine how otherworldly your recovery has to be to work & attack stage after stage in the freakin' Tour de France! Tremendous national champion, doing the jersey proud.

Monster day again QS!

Yes, a very special performance by him yesterday. I've rarely seen anything like it.

Skujins and Nys also gave him the recognition as they crossed the line together.

You'd love to see Quinn in the opposite role on such a stage - making the race instead of riding destructively for a rider like Milan. Aint no way anyone is coming back to a break with Abrahamsen and Quinn. Nevertheless absolute insane performance.

He's having a great Tour, despite having no stage win of his own like he wanted.

FANTASTIC TdF QS!

And brilliant ending.
Paris really is the City of Love.

So when his girlfriend jumped into his arms and wrapped his legs around him, the way he was holding her up....

...Well, I thought "he slipped a ring onto her finger, and he's about get something slipped onto his finger"
