I can't believe we didn't get a better photo-finish image

that favours kittel just (vertical height of the intersection of tyre and line in pixels by about 3 pixels) don't think i would call it on that though.

Very hard to call that. I'm surprised they did it so quickly. EBH was defo ahead though - he needs to learn how to lunge! The guy must be gutted.

Can't see a rucksack nor helmet cam on kittels lid, has he left them at the office ?

And the countryside wasn't that inspiring, but that's overly harsh... France is gorgeous.

if EBH had 28mm tyres he'd have won that

kind of Kittel to use aero-anchors for brakes, makes it look like a competition

What's going on with the spokes in the last photo?

Is it an artefact of the image capture process or is it flex due to the stresses they are under?

It seems to be the same for all of them

It's not actually a freeze frame, it's a composite image of several (many) photos taken over time that is then rebuilt

I don't really understand it (I've not read that deeply) but also explains why in athletics it makes all the runners legs look odd, because they are moving 'faster' than the photo rate which is calculated broadly to be in line with the finishing speed, - hence why bodies and bikes look normal but legs and spokes look odd - the lower spokes are moving faster and the ones above horizontal are moving slower and hence look like there are more of them / closer.
