62% Informative
Matteo Jorgenson is 6 ft 4 in ( 1.93 m) and weighs around 70kg (154lbs) He is the kind of size that usually rules riders out of contention for Grand Tours such as the Tour de France or the Giro d'Italia .
Bigger riders tend to aim for sprint stages or specialize in the Classics, one-day races like the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix , where weight and strength help on the brutal cobbled roads of northern Europe .
But he can climb because even though he’s tall, he's still remarkably light for his size.
Matteo Jorgenson won the eight -stage ParisNice in the 2023 Tour de France.
The Italian won the Giro de France in 2021 and the Tour in 2023 .
In 2024 , VismaLease a Bike (then Jumbo-Visma ) won the ParisNice stage race.
The Dutch team won all three Grand Tours that year , a historic clean sweep.
