Quinn Simmons will stand out in the Tour de France peloton with his handlebar mustache, flowing hair, and USA national champion's stars-and-stripes jersey, but he wants pro riders to be even more outlandish, be more entertaining, and so more appealing to a new global audience of young fans.
"Peter Sagan made me want to be a bike racer," Simmons said, citing the former three-time world champion, Classics and green points jersey winner as an example of how riders should be successful athletes but also entertainers.
