Peppermint tea pong sounds better.I'm happy Wout won. However I think the decision was not entirely fair and they should have played beer pong to determine the true winner.

I think Shachmann won that oneNaah, they should have a drinking-race to see who can empty one of those big "podium-beers" first.
I think Shachmann won that one
In fact Vos and Van Aert again.
Much better fotofinish than the one on TV.
It was incredibly close.
Mabye that's the other end of the finish lineWhat's with the second red line?

Each rider has a red line which is the far point of his bicycle. The difference between the red lines is the difference between them. The scan is done when the first bicycle crosses the finish.What's with the second red line?
So you're saying is that if Longo Borghini had worked with Kasia and won, then Stuyven would had won too replicating the MSR/Trofeo Binda double?
I would actually back Kasia in that head to head, no jokeSo you're saying that if Longo Borghini had worked with Kasia and won, then Stuyven would had won too replicating the MSR/Trofeo Binda double?

True, on the TV finish you can't actually see that yellow right.I think the light sidewall stripe on Wout's tires allowed the TV snapshot to look like Pidcock was a hair closer.
That was not on the same day. The double back then was ELB and Moschetti in the Binda Races.
That yellow stripe goes beyond the second line, exactly what @JosefK mentioned.I thought so too, but here, the second line is touching Wout's wheel instead of Pidcock's.

Or, if this was the PGA they'd opt for getting more advertising revenue in and make them do the last lap again.is there an extra time? Or we need VAR?
Also, Matthews must be fuming. If the peloton had cooperated, he could have won, him lacking teammates really impacted that finale.
I think the distance between the first two red lines is the margin of victory. Wout's wheel touches the first red line when Tom's wheel is touching the second one? (maybe?)What's with the second red line?
