Quinn
Simmons
The youngest member to join Trek-Segafredo is 18-year-old Quinn Simmons, who has only been racing on the road for a year and a half. He first drew the attention of Trek-Segafredo when he won Gent-Wevelgem Juniors and the USA National Junior time trial. Quinn went on to win 10 more races in Europe, and when he topped that, soloing for over 30 kilometers to take a dominant win in the World Championships Junior road race in Yorkshire, a deal with Trek-Segafredo was already done. A huge talent, the American opted to bypass further development in U23 for an immediate jump to the WorldTour level. Quinn is at his best in punchy one-day races, and under the close guidance of Trek-Segafredo’s coaches and directors in the next years, he will be a perfect fit for the Classics team.
