The bike race is in the last leg, the last few hundred feet. It is an extremely close race, and barring a catastrophe, will be right up until the end. Both men have been training so hard and the fans are really rooting for a great finish. They do not have much of a preference, but are excited to see such a close finish of the race. Both men are completely focused, tuning out the crowd, and can only focus on the race, and using whatever energy they still have to out race the other. It looks as though they are not even trying because they are so well trained but they are moving as fast as they can. The man in the foreground will win the race but by one of the shortest margins ever.
