‘I didn’t even know if we were racing’ – cold, confusing neutralisation dampens Matteo Jorgenson’s efforts on Paris-Nice stage 4

Defending champion Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) has said he "didn’t have a good feeling at all" as he lost the leader’s jersey on stage 4 of Paris-Nice after becoming cold and wet in a series of confusing stops and restarts due to poor weather.

Wednesday’s fourth stage was temporarily stopped after 120km due to hail, and then restarted under neutral conditions before racing eventually resumed properly, but Jorgenson said communication was lacking, leaving some riders unaware when they were meant to start riding again.
