Mike is a world-class biker and has just won one of the biggest races in the world. He is overflowed with emotion after he crosses the finish line and realizes he got first place. It is surreal to him at first. His fellow racers, especially the ones who were seconds behind him are disappointed and depressed. They keep thinking if only they'd pedaled a little harder and moved a little faster they could be winning the first place trophy. After the race it's back to training for Mike and his teammates. You can only live in the moment for so long before it's time to get back to business and time to focus on the next race.
