maybe i'm reading this wrong, but those times look pretty close to one another.

no your right the times quite often are very close David Zabriskie came in second place buy 36 seconds that is what the end number is is time after the overall winners time.

in 08 Carlos Sastre won the tour de france buy 58 seconds... not bad for having a total of just under 88 hours in the saddle over three weeks... thats just the leaders some of ther riders where over 90 hours...

i dont think most people know how it works (shoot i still dont fully understand all of it myself) but it is quite surprising how the teams work and just how much strategy is required, i think that also goes to show just how competitive it is!
