Jorgenson is viewed by many as a rider with a lot of potential and showcased his impressive talents earlier this year at the Tour of Oman and the Tour de Romandie before being front and centre of many stages at the 2023 Tour de France. "Being part of a team that rides for victory in all races is what I am most excited about", the American says. "Whether for myself or a teammate: fighting for the win is what motivates me."

"Based on the conversations we had, I think I fit in very well with this team. I have given this decision much thought and look forward to being part of Team Jumbo-Visma. Many riders who have joined this team have gone on to perform better. That says a lot about the team. I want to get the best out of myself and my career, which is possible here."
