Quinn Simmons, the USPro road champion, has been honored as the Best Teammate of the Tour de France for the second year running. The announcement was made by race organizers just before the final stage in Paris, with Simmons receiving a prize of €3,000.
Simmons' consistent efforts were vital to his Lidl-Trek team, particularly in supporting Mads Pedersen's pursuit of the green points classification jersey. He also played a significant role in the team's overall success, contributing to their victory in the teams classification.
Despite expressing occasional frustrations regarding team priorities during the race, Simmons ultimately reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the team's main objective.
