Quinn Simmons finished second on stage 6 of the Tour de France in Vire Normandie, expressing disappointment after narrowly missing a victory. He was outperformed by Ben Healy, who escaped solo 42km from the finish. Simmons's strong performance indicates he is gaining form, and usually, riders performing well in breakaways receive more chances later in the race. Despite his tactical planning, Simmons couldn't secure the win, admitting that second place doesn't have the same impact as a stage victory.
I attacked where I initially planned to attack to try to win, but unfortunately, there was one guy in front.
Of course, I'm disappointed - you don't race for second. Tomorrow, we'll wake up, and no one will even know I was second here.
