This is nuts!

17:19 - Smallest Winning Margin...?

The official timing system has sensors on every bike in the race. The finish of today’s stage was so close that a photo had to be used to determine the winner. It’s difficult to tell if Pieter Weening’s tyre was ahead of Andreas Kloden’s but the timing system declared the Rabobank rider the winner.
The winning time was just 0.0002 of a second!

I could not tell them apart. But, hey, it was fun to see Weening get his moment in the sun after all the work he did by himself up the mountain.

Cheers.
