Quinn Simmons has shown signs of his early spring form at Tirreno-Adriatico, having taken home the green king of the mountains jersey. However, the prodigious American will not stay on in Italy to take aim at next Saturday's Milan-San Remo.

Instead, he will rest up at his European base in Girona, Spain, and then head to Belgium for the cobbled Classics with growing confidence and perhaps a more important role in Trek-Segafredo's squad alongside Mads Pedersen and Jasper Stuyven.
