An identical finishing time is recorded for all team members arriving at the same time, or before.

In the overall individual standings, the actual times are carried over for each competitor as follows:
- The time of the 5th team member to finish from each team for competitors awarded this time in accordance with the rule above.
- The actual time for competitors who finish after the 5th team member.

However, competitors who finish outside the cut-off times stipulated by the rules (coefficient 6) are eliminated.

For the overall team standings, the actual time of the 5th team member to finish is taken into account.

In the case where a team no longer has at least 5 competitors, those remaining in the race are obliged to finish the course within the cut-off time set out in article 22 (coefficient 6). The time taken into account for the overall team standings is therefore the time of the last competitor to finish from this team.
