I think this photo pretty clearly shows the winner:

The left bike is on the white paint while the right is not. Clear that the left one is slightly ahead of the right

The right wheel appears to be elevated, per another article they both threw their bikes forward at the finish. That would impact the view from this angle to the point where I don’t see that as definitive.

Could that camera be using a horizontal rolling shutter?
