This was my first thought. Then I thought about it some more, and became persuaded I was wrong. I definitely did read the article.
According to the explanation in the article, it’s a narrow slice, so the back of the wheel would be photographed when that passed the finish line, even if ~30cm out – at which point the front would be clearly over the finish line.
The point being that the wheel is bigger than 30cm. It’s subtle, but I’m persuaded – unless I’m missing something, like them not having or not actually enforcing wheel-size regulations.
I personally find it very difficult to reason about something that looks so much like a photograph where only vertically-aligned points were taken at the same time.
