Vetplant Posted April 20, 2021 Share No need to assume the dimensions of the white line, the rules state the width: 34cm + 4cm + 34cmWhite + Black + WhiteCool, thanks. Updated with a 34cm difference in finish line position, all things staying the same, speed difference needed:4km/h Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatopek Posted April 20, 2021 Share You can also work out speed differential if a bike length is made up in 3-4 sec. (~1.8km/h right? Happy to be corrected) Combine that with a sub 10mm margin of victory, camera even before the white line etc etc Loads of if and buts. I'm still taking a moment But very happy for the winner, could not happen to a more worthy guy Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Shame, why you calling a puncture on him again! I feel sorry for Pidcock though. Gonna be pipped by a different Visma rider. Roglic wont make the mistake of letting him sit his wheel in the last km. Edited April 21, 2021 by TNT1 Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted April 21, 2021 Share A common question from people who see a photo finish for the first time is “where is the finish line”? With the above in mind the answer is “there is no specific finish line since the whole image is the finish line”. This is often illustrated by the colour: The track is usually red or blue, except on the finish line where it is white. But since the photo finish only shows the finish line, the whole track seems to be white.Yes, but the line on the road was 25cm away from the photo finish line it turn out, which is within the 35cm UCI tolerance. The issue is not the technology, its making the 2 lines the same as the winner is different between the 2 lines.

Frosty Posted April 21, 2021 Share LOL just saw this on twitter.Screenshot_20210421-121216_Twitter.jpgGiven how racing has changed since covid intervened, this could be how it was in the past.

TNT1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Pidcock's broken shoe. BTW, is he going to have to learn the lesson the hard way when it comes to wearing gloves? Edited April 21, 2021 by TNT1 Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
