Idaho’s Matteo Jorgenson gave it all for a Tour de France he could never win – and triumphed anyway

The news article focuses on Matteo Jorgenson's performance at the 2022 and 2023 Tour de France. Despite being assigned an unwinnable task, Jorgenson, an American rider, gave it his all and helped his team, Visma Lease-a-Bike, defeat the dominant Tadej Pogačar. Pogačar's victory seemed certain, as he had a significant lead in the general classification. However, Jorgenson and his teammates, including Wout van Aert, used Pogačar's competitive spirit against him, forcing him to exhaust himself trying to counter their attacks. Jorgenson's sacrifice, though not about personal glory, played a crucial role in Vingegaard's victory over the seemingly unbeatable Pogačar in the 2022 and 2023 Tours de France.
