The five mam break away was a long shot, but going it alone with 46 kilometers was really extremely long odds. But the title says it all. Quinn Simmons (Trek-Segafredo) is the youngest rider in the Tour having just turned 21 years old. His youthfulness may explain his trying to go on alone. He had been with Matej Mohoric, but the veteran sat up and went back to the peloton just forty five seconds behind the now lone American. I am sure Simmons was going for the red bib number of most combative rider in the stage. Given how many times he has been off the front of the peloton, he may be hoping to get that title for the whole Tour once they all reach Paris.
