‘Good to see how I can do if I go full-on’ – Matteo Jorgenson assesses his top 10 on Tour de France stage 7 TT

For the first time in days following an earlier crash, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) was able to dig deep to finish seventh on the Tour de France stage 7 time trial, 54 seconds behind stage winner Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). He also moved into the top 10 overall, four minutes down, from race leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates).

Jorgenson went down in a high-speed crash with his Visma-Lease a Bike teammate Wout van Aert on stage 2 with just under 100km to ride on the hilly day in Italy. After getting back on his bike, the 25-year-old worked for team leader Jonas Vingegaard on the final climb of the day before finishing with the main group of favourites, 21 seconds down.
