Tour de France cyclist, Quinn Simmons, concludes his competition with a surprising marriage proposal
Quinn Simmons, the Lidl-Trek cyclist, made headlines at the 2025 Tour de France with a double celebration. He was awarded the inaugural Super Teammate Award and proposed to his girlfriend, Sydney Berry, on the iconic Champs-Elyseés.
The Super Teammate Award, a new prize introduced in 2025, recognises the rider who has distinguished himself most through dedication and support of his team throughout the entire race. This year, the honour went to Simmons, who demonstrated consistent work on sprint stages, breakaways, and team support efforts. The award was decided by a jury of experts.
Following the race finish, Simmons surprised everyone by proposing to Berry, who accepted. This personal moment came as a notable end to his successful Tour campaign.
In preparation for the proposal, Simmons had been planning for several days. Despite losing out on the Super Combatif du Tour prize to Healey, his second-place finish on stage 6 of the Tour de France and his win at Itzula Basque County in the spring, as well as his stage win at the Tour de Suisse, were testament to his strong performance throughout the season.
The proposal was captured by social media teams from the Tour de France and Lidl-Trek, ensuring that the special moment was shared with cycling fans around the world. Simmons ended the Tour de France in Paris with a new title, having been awarded the Super Teammate Award.
With his second US national title also under his belt, Simmons' 2025 season was one to remember. As he looks ahead to future races, he will no doubt continue to excel both on and off the bike, with his new fiancée by his side.
After being awarded the Super Teammate Award for his exceptional dedication and support to his team throughout the 2025 Tour de France, Quinn Simmons decided to share another significant celebration – proposing to his girlfriend, Sydney Berry, on the Champs-Elyseés. Despite losing the Super Combatif du Tour prize, his strong performance throughout the season, including a win at Itzula Basque Country and a stage win at the Tour de Suisse, was a testament to his skills in sports.
