I think OP is getting qualifying time (14 mins + the additional ~9ish mins, which in fairness is not conveyed to us) confused with the finishing time delay (which is 90 second after the leader of the RACE crosses the finish line).
Thus, being Nord and people seem to get pretty spread out during the race itself, one may not finish the race within the 90 extra seconds. In which case, you'll just get the position you were in when that time expires despite not actually crossing the line in that position.
