Cool photos that have bikes in them

What is actually happening in this picture?

How come this fella is chillaxing on a brakless situp & beg bike while a bunch of racers are struggling to keep up at full pelt behind him?

Basically, all the racer guys behind him have never ridden a fixed/ss and only ride about 20 miles on a sunday, with £4000 carbon bikes, you can see this is when carbon was first introduced. ..... this guy is kicking their arse because he rides his arse off everyday on a shit bike and has Godzilla legs because of it..... it a classic case of "it ain't the bike, it is the rider".
