....is it a tie?

Do ties ever happen?

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

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.

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

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

It's more a guideline than an actual rule.
