American Colby Simmons will make his WorldTour debut at one of the toughest one-day races on the calendar – this weekend’s Tour of Flanders.

The 21-year-old from Durango, Colorado, is the younger brother of professional cyclist and former national champion Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek). As an amateur, he won the U.S. National Road Championships title in the Junior 17–18 category. After a two-year stint with Lux Cycling, he spent the past three years riding for the Jumbo-Visma Development Team. There, he delivered strong performances at races like the Tour Alsace, where he finished second overall. He also claimed podiums at Big Sugar Gravel, the USA Cycling National Gravel Championships, and the U23 USA Cycling National Road Championships.
