TdF 'relative' time gaps

Hi all, the official Tour webpage displays the time gaps as both
absolute and relative. The absolute shows minutes and seconds between
groups but the relative line appears to show 17 Hrs: XX min: XX sec if
more than one group relative to the peloton. Here are two jpg's that
show the gaps: http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...t=relative.jpg
and http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...=relative1.jpg
An explanation would be most appreciated. Thanks, me

It's the gap to the next group. It should read "3:54". It's a bug in their software.

See, for example, for correct time gaps:
