Photo finish and a Weening Surprise

Regarding today's photo finish at the Tour De France

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!
