Well, that's one way to look at it... However, I believe that his friend was airlifted to the hospital, after she suffered a really bad cut to her leg.

Disaster struck Samantha Phillips of Team Bike Shop/Bicycle Café on the descent of the Harley Pass. She crashed hard in the rocks, opening a deep gash in her knee and cutting major ligaments in the process. Her team-mate Tom Zidek earned a medal of honour on the day-after piggybacking her up the hill where she was evacuated by helicopter, he tied her bike to his back and rode it to the finish, including the entire technical descent.

not a bad effort.

Is this beause if both bikes finish race/stage it counts as if both riders finished?

If not, why would he do that?

Probably cause it was easier than riding out on just his bike, walking all the way back in (and up) and then riding hers out.

Clearly the bikes are geared differently, so when he has to go uphill he switches to the bike with better pedaling ability. Its common sense.
