Colby Simmons stepped up to the WorldTour from EF Education-Aevolo in 2025 when he made his pro debut at the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix.
Born and raised in Durango, Colorado, USA, cycling is in Colby’s DNA. He started riding with his brother, who is now a WorldTour pro, and soon fell in love with the freedom, speed, and adrenaline that he discovered out on the road. As soon as he started racing, Colby’s natural talent shone.
He is an explosive rider, who does well on punchy climbs and in the cobbled classics, where races might be decided at any moment. Strong rides at the Tour of Rhodes, where he finished third on the overall, and Coppi e Bartali, where he raced alongside his WorldTour teammates, proved Colby’s strength and his skills and earned him his spot on EF Education-EasyPost. Right away, he showed that he belonged, guiding his teammates to the front of the peloton during hectic sprint finishes with the cool head of a seasoned pro.
When Colby isn’t racing, he gets his adrenaline fix on skis. He loves touring the mountains of Colorado and heads into the backcountry in search of powder turns whenever he is home in the winter.
During the racing season, he lives in Girona, Spain, where he trains with a good group of mates and has fully embraced the city’s café culture.
