He had an active 2022 Tour de France and was involved in several breakaways including on stages 10 and 16. Late in stage 16, he was in the process of chasing down the lead rider Hugo Houle when he crashed while rounding a sharp corner. Despite the crash, he was still able to finish fourth on the stage.[6]

In the 2023 Tour de France, he was involved in a 14-man breakaway on stage 9. With around 47 km remaining of the stage, he went clear from the group, leading the stage for most of the climb up the Puy de Dôme. However, within the final 500 metres, he was passed by Michael Woods, ultimately dropping to a 4th place stage finish.[7]

Jorgensen won the 2024 Paris–Nice, becoming the first American to win that since Floyd Landis in 2006.[8] His win was in significant part due to him being in a three-man breakaway on Stage 6, where they finished more than 50 seconds ahead of most of the race favorites.
