An interesting thought is that the winning margin, had AC and AS stuck to each other like limpets, and the reversal of ITT start positions notwithstanding, with all finishing times playing out as they did, the winning margin would have been 8 seconds in AC's favor... Hmmm, where have we seen that result before?....
AS did indeed ride an outstanding Tour, and it gives us non-bandwagoners hope that next year's race will be a good one without circus distractions.
