Well, I do think the Lemond/Hinault stuff is kind
of gay.

I guess what I wanted to know is:

Can the two riders decide that they wish to tie? In otherwords, if they
ride across holding hands/shoulders/whatever, clearly indicating this; is
it a rule or the custom that the officials must declare a tie?

Sometimes I'd like to see honour trump glory.

Problem is, unfortunately, that the Modern Day PhotoFinish cameras
don't lie

It wasn't a tie. Both riders did everything to simulate friendship (at some
point they even spoke to each other, something they hadn=t done for days).
Close to the finish Hinault raised Lemond's arm high in triumph, but
released him just in time to cross the line in first place. Oifficial
results: 1. Hinault 2. Lemond.

Unless you are on the receiving end....then it's OK.

It's more a guideline than an actual rule.

Absolutely true - in the video you can see him push Bernard forward.

The last stage of the 1938 Tour when Antonin Magne and André Leducq passed
the finish in Paris with hands around each other shoulders.
