    Simmons had a tough year. To end on this note is impressive, things really could have not gone better from where he was in the Spring to get back to this level. Shows that he is a super talent. Hopefully in 2025 he can get some nice wins.

    Really great to see Quinn back on his bike and riding so strongly. He was one of the only guys to try to follow Pogacar. Whenever he was dropped, he kept his focus and clawed his way back.

    He's on trek right, well they had a pretty good year without him. Probably not the easiest guy to ride with, maybe not the first guy you'd want as a teammate. And wouldnt think the personality fit with sepp and mattais was awesome. He will go for some results in 1 day races next year but grand tours and 3 weeks is a long time and I cant see that working with him.

      Even though there's 4.2 joules in a calorie the body is only about 25% efficient, so it happens that kilojoules of energy produced roughly match calories burned. That means he burned roughly 7000 calories, which is an insane amount.
