'I've never won a sprint before, so that's kinda good' – Quinn Simmons escapes to victory on stage 4 of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes as breakaway makes it

Quinn Simmons wins stage four of the 2026 Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Quinn Simmons charged to victory from the breakaway on stage four of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes as the peloton ran out of road on Wednesday.

The Lidl-Trek rider was part of a 10-man group which made it to the finish in Montrond-les-Bains, metres ahead of the on-rushing peloton. After Pablo Castrillo (Movistar) kept the break's hopes alive with a powerful turn, Simmons opened up the sprint, holding off Finn Fisher-Black (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Mattéo Vercher (TotalEnergies).
