Another European racing season is gleaming ever closer on the horizon and as Quinn Simmons contemplates his fourth year at WorldTour level, he lets loose a few home truths.

First, the Trek-Segafredo pro tells Cyclingnews he doesn’t race bikes because he likes bikes. Secondly, he’s not yet done a single pro season that he’s looked back on and felt happy with it. Thirdly, he’s not unduly worried about his contract running out at the end of the 2023 season.
