Quinn Simmons of Lidl-Trek gears up for Strade Bianche this weekend, seeking redemption after a strong performance at Il Lombardia. The 24-year-old finished fourth in the grueling 238km race last year, marking a significant improvement as he heads into his sixth Strade Bianche. In previous attempts, he secured a seventh and a twelfth place but feels renewed confidence from his winter training.
Simmons states, "You always keep the confidence from your last race," reflecting on how finishing the season positively changes his preparation. Past seasons ended with illness or crashes, but this year’s strong finish leaves him optimistic. Simmons faces Tadej Pogačar again, among other top contenders, on a slightly shorter route this time. He embraces the Tuscan landscape, aiming for a breakthrough performance.
