I think 'Giuseppe' (Alex) should race a track sprinter. I know from another video he peaks at 1,100watts; it'd be cool to see just what 2,600 (Hoy) does. It doesn't have to be Sir Chris Hoy, he's be retired far longer than Alex. There's a bunch of young Whipper Snappers who are over 2,000 watts. I mean we know they're fast but I'd love to see just how fast. You could even do it with a virtual track sprinter? Then Hank could go too!

I've never looked up the current UCI rules for the Match Sprint, but I believe that they have severely limited the amount of time the riders are allowed to do a 'track stand' (which is what you describing, when they try to force their opponent into the lead). It WAS getting downright ridiculous in the 'old days', with the record being like over an hour or something?? (How are they not way too cramped and tightened up to even sprint at all, after that?!?!?) Lately, I have not seen any current top elite World Cup/Nations Cup/Olympic/Worlds Match Sprinters coming to a complete stop at all. They all seem to at least roll slowly, while watching each other intently for jumps/attacks, until the final windup starting at ~250 meters to go.

Yup, and ironically we only have TWO indoor tracks currently in this whole HUGE nation, and only one of those is a UCI certified, spec 250 meter bowl (the Carson, Cali Velodrome which will be used for the 2028 Olympics, and has hosted some World Cup/Nations Cup events). The other one is very similar to those old, LONG LONG gone, ten laps to a mile U.S. Six Day tracks (and some of the Euro 6 Day tracks), but much better surface, construction, and speed (the Lexus Velodrome in Detroit, Michigan @ 166meters in length). It is hard to believe that this sport (TRACK cycling) was actually MORE popular than ANY of the 'muricun stick and ball 'go-to' sports (which is all most know from, or even want to know about, nowadays) at one time way back when. ☹☹

There used to be a Tandem Match Sprint event, and they used tandems (even triples!!) way way back when for the paced races, before dernys and such. There used to be a wild fast Motorpaced event on the track, using 'stayer' bikes behind big displacement motorbikes where the pacer actually stood upright in stirrups in order to give the rider maximal wind blocking slipstream effect. They rode HUGE gears, and were quite fast, but they went the way of the dinosaur for the World Championships in the early '90s. ☹
