The arrival of Tour de France is a relief and happiness for all the runners who were at the start, but it may have been even more for Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek). The American runner was elected best team member of Tour de France But above all asked for his girlfriend in marriage after spending the line. What provide a very beautiful image to conclude this Tourwhere the champion of the United States will have shown himself crucial in the success of his team.
“I just wanted the day to be over”
After arrival, Quinn Simmons seemed on a little cloud, and it's understandable: “I just asked for my girlfriend in marriage, she replied yes. I am super happy, who has the right to do this on this avenue? It's really special, she was there at all the courses at altitude, to boring dinners with me every evening, so being able to share this moment and add a Simmons to the family is quite special.” Even if he did not play victory on the Champs-Elysées, the day was extremely nervous for the runner of the Lidl-Trek : “I just wanted the day to be over. I was a little distracted but when we are in the race, we run. But once I was released in the last round, the last 16 kilometers were very long. It was a dream to start the Champs-Elysées in the lead and make this circuit in front and in my jersey. ” But that earned the blow since this request surprised its fiancée: “I had no idea, I told his mother that he was weird today and I thought he was just nervous for the race, but apparently there was not just that (laughs).”
