The two men are racing in the most prestigious race in their country.  They had both trained insane amounts for this race and know that the only competition they have is between themselves.  The man in second place was the champion for 5 years in a row and wants to continue his streak.  The man in first place has never won this race and is enjoying his time in first, but knows that it can be very short-lived.  Eventually, the 5 time champ speeds ahead of the other man and wins his 6th title.  The underdog is disappointed but knows he will train and fight harder next year.
