Jorgenson was AT LEAST the 6th strongest rider in the race. At Netserk points out, he was doing lots and lots of donkey work that Almeida and Landa didn't have to do at all, also for Wout on stage 1 and 13. He was very visible at the front on flat stages with echelons and was often found in front. He was exceptional on the gravel, he was the 4th best (by far) yesterday in the TT where he prolly lost 15 seconds in the crash. His Beille pull was great, he was the best from the break in Isola and was STILL doing +6 w/kg after Bonette in the break for 40 minutes. He crashed before Galibier and was whatever, every rider not name Pog and Vingegaard would have lost time there.
Jorgenson is the real deal. Incredibly strong in all terrains, insane versaility and by far the best domestique in the race. If Jorgy had Almeida or Landa's role, he's easily 6th and I would even go as far as to say 4th-5th.
