Quinn Simmons achieved his first WorldTour win at a chaotic Volta a Catalunya, faced with a drastically changed stage 6 that left riders uncertain. Initially resistant to starting due to dangerous weather conditions, Simmons' team ultimately participated in the truncated race, culminating in a sudden, unexpected 28-kilometre race. Amid the confusion, Simmons managed to launch an effective attack, demonstrating not only his skills but also underscoring the importance of unity among cyclists when confronting safety concerns in such unpredictable racing environments.
It's exciting to take the victory, but as riders we need to learn to stand together, if we do feel it's dangerous, we should put our foot down.
There was a real feeling of confusion in the bunch because it was unclear if they were going to do two laps or one lap of the altered 73km circuit.
