I note Andre Mahe and Serse Coppi "equal first" in 1949. Was this the incident where the leading rider was misdirected off course by an official just before the finish and he and the consequent first finisher declared co-winners? If so, which rider was misdirected? Is this the most contraversial finish, or has there ever been an apparent winner disqualified?
Probably the only reason the famous TdF disqualification for assistance repairing a fork didn't happen half a dozen times in P-R is that such a lengthy repair in a one day calssic would drop one out of the prizes anyway.
