NICE, France (Reuters) - Matteo Jorgenson claimed overall victory at the Paris-Nice race after distancing fellow American Brandon McNulty in the rainy hills around Nice on Sunday.

The Visma-Lease a Bike rider began the eighth and final stage four seconds behind McNulty but he and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) attacked on the Cote de Peille with 40km left.
