Default A Tie?

What happens if Ullrich wins the TT by 1.07 seconds and there's a tie? I
looked in the rules but didn't see anything about a tie.

Has there ever been one?

How would the winner be determined - reverting to stage wins (i.e., Ullrich,
with 2)?

The closest race was Lemond over Fignon.
There hasn't been a tie, but on close finishes, they go into 100ths of a
second, so a tie is very unlikely.

Not at the TdF.

They would go with milliseconds, which are measured in time trials,
and then by points, I think.

I think the rule is that the best finisher of the stage is the winner. In
otherwords, if Ullrich beats Lance by 1:07 in the TT he would win overall as
he finished the last stage ahead of Lance even though they are tied on time.

They go to thousandths of a second and if there's still a tie, they count
testicles. The one with the most wins. Nuticle implants from the vet don't
count
