āI finished the Tour in the best possible way. I don't think anything will ever top this,ā said a delighted Simmons to Eurosport after the scene on the Champs-ElysĆ©es.
āI asked my girlfriend if she wanted to marry me and she said āyesā,ā he laughed. āI mean, who could do that here with this view? She's always by my side. She comes with me to every training camp, she always eats those boring meals with me...ā
"She's always there for me, even here in Paris. I was a bit distracted, thinking about this moment and the whole stage. The last lap of sixteen kilometers felt like it took forever."

- Iām still learning the calendar: is cyclocross mainly preparation for the spring classics, or does he race it as a separate goal as well? Iād love to see him back in the mud.jeremya04-11-2026
- The article makes it sound as if Roubaix is the only classic where he has a realistic shot. Heās been close in Flanders too, and one good tactical day can change everything.jennifer1904-11-2026
- Milan-Sanremo and Roubaix is a pretty special pair of Monuments. Any clues yet on which cyclocross races heāll target?andrewf04-11-2026
- Heās right to be realistic about Flanders with PogaÄar and Evenepoel around, but you canāt count Van Aert out on those roads. If he gets the right opportunity, he has the engine and experience to take it.davidm04-11-2026
- That Roubaix win felt like such a release after all the near-misses. Brilliant to hear that joy outweighed relief for Wout.patriciaw04-11-2026
- Why would a mountain time trial be different from a normal one? Is it just that the riders have to climb the whole course?samanthak03-11-2026
- I donāt quite buy the āfear of failureā argument. Riders can race the Giro and still have confidence in July; it comes down to recovery and planning, doesnāt it?patriciaw03-11-2026
- The Giro-Tour double is a massive ask, even for the very best. PogaÄar made it look almost routine in 2024, but thatās hardly a sensible benchmark for everyone else!pedalpowe2903-11-2026
- Bakelants makes a fair point: if the 2027 Tour really suits Remco, he canāt afford to dilute the build-up. That 37km flat TT will be tempting, mind.julien03-11-2026
- Mont Blanc sounds like a spectacular finish, though four climbs on the final day might be a bit much after eight hard stages. Hope the route details are clear soon.raceready703-11-2026
