The Battle of the Stand-Stills

In footage from a 1990 world championship sprint race, two riders try and hold their bikes in place on the track as long as they possibly can. A second race between two contemporary riders shadows the original race, and a decayed velodrome overlaps with the memory of the stand-still. As three racing locations and times intersect, images from earlier races are recalled by an announcer's narration of an invisible race.
