Matteo Jorgenson praises Visma for calendar flexibility in 2026 with big changes to race programme and Grand Tour leadership put on hold

Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike).

Top US rider Matteo Jorgenson has made major changes to his calendar and won't race the cobbled Classics or his beloved Paris-Nice in 2026, instead opting to focus on the hilly Classics, with a Monument, and more specifically Liège-Bastogne-Liège, circled as his key goal.

He will race the Tour de France again to help Jonas Vingegaard, but despite stating recently how he would like to be a leader at a Grand Tour, and reigning Giro winner Simon Yates' retirement leaving a gap for someone to step up, that will not be happening in 2026.
