After struggling for form so far during the spring Classics season, Gianni Moscon has decided to call an end to his campaign, missing out on Paris-Roubaix as a result.

The Italian finished fourth at last year's wet edition of the race, but Moscon hasn't made an impact on the cobbles this season, having failed to finish at his last four races in Belgium, including Sunday's Tour of Flanders.
