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!

Just one word: Wow!

JC, I've watched the finish twice now and I'm still amazed at the effort these two men put it. Got to feel bad for Kloden, esp after Lance whup him at the line last year--got to be heart-braking for him. Two Tour stages he could perhaps should have won and he's lost both by a hair.
