Matteo Jorgenson

However, within the final 500 metres, he was passed by Michael Woods, ultimately dropping to a 4th place stage finish.

In 2024, Jorgensen was the first American to clinch overall victory in the one-week Paris-Nice stage race since Floyd Landis in 2006.

He was the only cyclist who could stay with Remco Evenepoel, who attacked three times in the final stage.

Matteo Jorgenson (born July 1, 1999) is an American professional cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam.

He was born in Walnut Creek, California, grew up in Boise, Idaho and credits BYRDS (Boise Young Rider Development Squad) for his start in cycling.

He had an active 2022 Tour de France and was involved in several breakaways including on stage 10.

He finished fourth, a result he was not satisfied with.

On stage 16 there was a large breakaway of nearly 30 riders and Jorgenson was among them.

Late in the stage he was one of the final surviving riders and was in the process of chasing down the lead rider Hugo Houle.

He crashed while rounding a sharp corner.

Despite the crash he was still able to finish fourth on the stage.

In the 2023 Tour de France, he was involved in a 14-man breakaway on stage 9.

With around 47 km remaining of the stage, he went clear, leading the stage for most of the climb up the Puy de Dôme.
