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

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

Lemond, Hinault - L'Alpe D'Huez 1986

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.

No gifts.

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