Making a kilometer blurry
Without clicking through, my bet is the bottom guy. His bike is shorter, indicating he's going faster.

Well, his wheels are shorter too. The whole thing is scrunched front to back. Clearly he crossed the line faster, likely because of a later throw. That's not the same as winning, of course, as I've demonstrated in the past on both sides of that equation.
I don't know what they're doing with that line placement though. If you slide your browser over to the right until the front wheels are going off your display, the bottom guy's wheel wins by a pixel anyway.

Does that mean Open Pros are always the way to go??
Fwiw, we're all in the drops.

I believe Barredo is a jabber.

Taylor Phinney didn't get a bronze for himself at Worlds because he didn't throw his bike forward, he basically threw his body up. Because of that he had to share the bronze with a guy that threw his bike properly.
