Sprint + lose

[Pedrocito]

yesterday, 21h, Hainan

4 riders in the escape: 2 from Kitovras' team, 2 from mine. 1st SI, I took the 2 1st places; so I decided to let Kitovras win the 2 1st at the next one.
but Dyrnes was my captain, so I wanted to see him take the 3rd place (to win 2 sec.). I put him on "lose" and he stayed in tempo. Chevrier was on "lose" too and stopped tempo 1km before.
in my opinion, with this tactic, Dyrnes had to win, but Chevrier took the 3rd place...

has tempo effect, or it's just random because of both are on "lose"?
is it a bug, or?

Maybe with 2 sec. less Dyrnes had a better GK result, I don't know, and it's not important...

Not a bug. Both choose "lose", so the random decides.
