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. |
