Jorgenson: “I know how strong McNulty is”

"The shape was good coming into Paris-Nice, but then I had some bad luck and also bad positioning on my part in the echelons. I thought I was out of the GC, but with some good fortune I got back, and this jersey is a big honour. I had to try, that’s all we had now with the team. I was talking with Brandon [McNulty] this morning and I knew he wanted to make the break. I thought it would go on the first big climb, but when I saw him on the move, I figured I had to go. We worked well together. I know how strong he is, we’ve been racing so much together. But you have to try your chance. He definitely was the strongest today. If I had gone his pace, I would have quickly exploded."
