Jorgenson thought Evenepoel was not 'particularly strong' in Paris-Nice: "I was able to respond to all his attacks"

After stage winner Aleksandr Vlasov, Jorgenson crossed the finish line alongside Remco Evenepoel, Mattias Skjelmose, and Primoz Roglic. "I have a very good feeling about this stage. It was a stage to get through and also an opportunity to gain time on Brandon. I achieved both things and I am super happy about that," said the American in conversation with Cycling Pro Net.

Paris-Nice will conclude on Sunday with a challenging mountain stage. "I'm ready for the toughest day of the week. Anything can happen there," Jorgenson anticipates an exciting finale. While he trails McNulty closely, he maintains a thirty-second advantage over Skjelmose and Evenepoel in the general classification. Jorgenson isn't particularly concerned about Evenepoel. "Remco put up a good fight, but I managed to counter all his moves. Although he gained some bonus seconds at the end, I took my turns at the front to keep Brandon under pressure."

"I'm heading into the final stage with confidence. Winning Paris-Nice is within reach. I just need to stay cautious tomorrow," he adds, referring to the expected adverse weather conditions.
