Jorgenson lands third in GC after Paris-Nice opener with surprise bonus seconds

[ad_1]

Stage 1 of Paris-Nice was just the third race day of the season for Matteo Jorgenson, riding in his new Visma-Lease a Bike colours, and it was a solid day at the office for the young team leader. The 24-year-old rider from the United States may have gone unnoticed with 15th in the swarm of riders crossing the finish line together in Les Mureaux, but he joined his teammate and stage winner Olav Kooij on the first GC podium of the eight-day race.

While Kooij stole the spotlight for his sprint victory and a trifecta of award jerseys – overall, points and youth classifications – Jorgenson was satisfied with a late-race move where he collected pivotal bonus seconds.
