Man, just checked the TdF site. Race officials gave the same time, 6 seconds, all the way down to the 77th rider.

Wiggens, Andy and Contador get the same time as the lead group.

Some controversy with that, I think. Contador was in the group that crashed ...maybe they were inside the 3k limit.

Unless they’ve updated the results and haven’t changed this page on their website Contador finished at 01’20” in 82th place. This was a discussion yesterday as to what the officials would do since they were within the 3km range.

The Contador situation is still up in the air as this race begins surrounding a drug investigation from last year. They have finished the investigation, thus if he is found guilty he’ll lose the win last year and any finish position he has this year. Sorta a strange situation in that he maybe racing with no chance of winning depending upon the investigation outcome and his being in the race will also impact the way some will ride the event..... just my specualting of course.....
