Bicycle Bits & Pieces

The closest finish a day?

Most of us old timers remember Greg LeMond's 8 second victory in the Tour de France 1989, but as far as I know, the nearest stage race victory was Andy Hampsten's 1 second victory in the Tour de Suisse 1987. You can view a short video of his victory here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzPLdSGW-Vo anybody know of a close win, or was it the victory in the closest cycling history? There are two things that make Andy Hampsten's 1 second victory even closer. One of course was Ron Kiefel win this interim final Sprint by two inches to save Andy's 1-second margin of victory. But the other thing is that Andy was only 1 seconds ahead because the day Previous officials have decided to give Andy the same time as the finisher in second place. If they did not, he would not only had 1 second.

really can not be a victory over narrow (bicycle races) are scheduled to tenths of a second and or not hundredths of seconds. I remember LeMonds win also, and 8 seconds after 3000 + K is pretty amazing! Simon Gerrans won a stage race in Australia (Herald Sun Tower) of only 4 seconds in 2006, the closest finish in 55 years. He had to finish in the top 3 to win the race on the final stage, which he did. His team mate won the sprint of the stage. No surprises his teammate was none other sprinter Robbie McEwen!
