Quinn Simmons would be the first to admit that crashing out of Strade Bianche this March was a huge disappointment, but less than a month later, the Lidl-Trek racer has already shown at the Volta a Catalunya that he's bouncing back fast.

Simmons could be seen setting the pace for his GC teammates on the lower slopes of the final climb on stage 3 to La Molina, proving that he is both in good underlying condition and that he's up for his next goals this season.
