Cyclist suspended for pro-Trump tweets
Quinn Simmons
UNITED STATES cyclist Quinn Simmons was suspended by the Trek-Segafredo team today after posting antagonistic comments on social media in support of President Donald Trump.
The 2019 junior road race world champion replied to a journalist from the Netherlands who had criticised Trump on Twitter.
“Regrettably, team rider Quinn Simmons made statements online that we feel are divisive, incendiary, and detrimental to the team, professional cycling, its fans, and the positive future we hope to help create for the sport,” Trek-Segafredo said in a statement. “[He] will not be racing for Trek-Segafredo until further notice.”
