Great research! But van Aart is the right winner. The photo finish picture is stated s the official result. Every athlete knows that, despite alignment errors of the equipment.
- djmips 5y agoExactly. It's a bit arbitrary but it's the final call.
- viraptor 5y agoThe idea of the race, bikes, and how we measure the whole thing is arbitrary to begin with :-)
- tomglynch 5y agoTrue, though if Wout won by the rules but Tom crossed the finish line first that is not a great outcome.
- hiroprot 5y agoGiven that they are not necessarily the same, perhaps more accurate to say "So who crossed the finish line first?" in your article? We know who won. As someone who has both won and lost bike races determined by photo finish, I enjoyed this article a lot. Well done sir!
