Has a race over 100km been won by a fraction of a second?
Has a race run over 2 weeks (eg Tour de France) been decided by a sprint finish on the last leg?
You get my drift here!!

Yeah. That 1989 LeMond/Fignon TDF was the smallest margin of victory in tour history at 8 seconds and was decided by a time trial on the last day.
There have been lots of races over 100k that have been decided by less than 1 second. Most all pro one-day races are like 180k and up and many come down to a lunging sprint finish decided by the width of a tire at 55km/hr.

A few years back, Laurent Fignon lost the Tour de France on the very last day by 8 seconds to Greg Lamond.
Is that any good?
