"That's why I don't win by gaps under 1'30"

~Evenepoel, probably

 

[Faserr]

Noone knows who won

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Shades of Kittel versus Coquard in the 2016 Tour.

 

[Volderke]

Closest ever photofinish?

 

[Red Rick]

Photofinish is in

The winner is Wout van Aert.

 

[DNP-Old]

I don't think you can confidently and definitively say either of the two won. This looks a dead tie to me.

 

[Netserk]

Unless someone turns into prime Pantani on Jebel Hafeet or this gap somehow halves, it has to be.

I think Yates is not completely out of it yet.

 

[Red Rick]

Don't you have some effect here where the rider closest to the camera appears a bit closer to the line?

 

[Boes]

Photofinish is in

The winner is Wout van Aert.

Hush now Pidcock. Not everything is about you.

 

[Berniece]

A bit silly that they are going to give the win to someone for such finishes

 

[Volderke]

Maybe let Ewan and Merlier do another lap.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I think Yates is not completely out of it yet.

Bilbao and Plapp were 5 and 16 seconds down respectively on Jebel Hafeet last year and Evenepoel is better than both if in form. Would take bad climbing by all three and/or a stratospheric Yates, IMO.

 

[Red Rick]

This is where you use the Strava KOM to decide the winner

 

[DNP-Old]

I don't agree with this decision.

 

[Aimar16]

Merlier won

 

[Didinho]

Rock paper scissors?

 

[BR2]

Rock paper scissors?

That would have been the fair way.

A bit silly that they are going to give the win to someone for such finishes

yeah, but can they hand out two yellow jerseys?

 

[Vesica]

Based on the brown/white line on the tires I would say Ewan. Purely based on the idea that the tires are the same.

 

[Didinho]

Just give it to Cav, he clearly won against Kooij.

 

[DNP-Old]

yeah, but can they hand out two yellow jerseys?

Just cut it in half.

 

[search]

Just cut it in half.

would still be a bit unfair if both teams start last together tomorrow

 

[DNP-Old]

would still be a bit unfair if both teams start last together tomorrow

Now that is revolutionary. Where do I sign?

 

[Didinho]

Merlier it is!

 

[BR2]

Next to each other.
