In the stage 20 of Tour de France, Tim Wellens and Matteo Jorgenson found themselves in a breakaway but ultimately hindered each other’s performance. The challenging conditions and close competition led to their mutual exhaustion. After Jorgenson's attack, both riders struggled to keep pace with the break. With a crucial gap forming, any hopes of victory diminished. Wellens acknowledged that they were tightly matched in strengths yet ended up canceling each other out in their pursuits, finishing eighth and ninth.
Matteo and I were kind of stuck together. Matteo had attacked and put me right on the limit. Then the rest rode away, and we were left together.
We both together took ourselves out of the race on the second climb of the day.
Today was super hard, in the beginning there were maybe 40 riders with all the favourites, including race leader and teammate Tadej.
They caught us, and then when the final began, I felt we were pretty tired.
