Default Vuelta tie

From Velo News:
"Even more interesting; had the Vuelta followed the lead of this
year’s Tour, and not offered time bonuses, Leipheimer and Contador
would have tied for the overall.

Contador earned 58 seconds in bonuses, including 40 seconds in his two
stage victories. Leipheimer earned 12 seconds in bonuses, from his
second place at Fuentes de Invierno, but didn’t earn any bonuses in
his two time trial victories.

The tie-breaker, measured in decimals taken in time trials, would have
tilted toward Contador, however. Contador’s decimals were 0.0570 while
Leipheimer’s came down to 0.1240."

Wow that would have been cool, time bonuses definitely need to go.
