In an attempt to provide a distraction from the Vino debacle, can
someone please explain these sentences from cyclingnews.com?

From http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2007/jul07/jul24news3

"In Monday's stage 15, [...] the time cut would have been 13 percent
off the winning time of 5 hours 34 minutes and 28 seconds or 43
minutes and 29 seconds. Yesterday the autobus was in a hurry, but
could only manage to get home in two groups, 31'51" and 35'45" - did
the judges kick out all 63 riders?"

Huh? At last check, 31 and 35 are less than 43 - what am I missing? Or is
it just cyclingnews going down the drain?

You read that? Wow, they may still be able to sell advertising ...

They're doing homework for their creative accounting course.
