‘It’s worth it to try because that’s the way to win’ – Matteo Jorgenson ruins legs trying to follow Pogačar at GP Montréal

Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) pushed past his limits in pursuit of victory trying to follow Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) at the GP Montréal, ultimately falling to 12th at the finish after ‘ruining his legs’ when the Slovenian made his race-winning move.

Pogačar made his bid for glory out of teammate Rafał Majka’s wheel with 23.3km to go on the penultimate ascent of the Côte Camilien-Houde and Jorgenson was the closest rider to him, locked in and ready to react.
