Match sprint
From WikiPedalia
A track event for two riders, who start together. Each rider would like to be behind the other for most of the race, because the rear rider has the initiative. As a result, most of the distance of a match sprint is covered at a very low speed. Suddenly, one of the riders attacks with a burst of energy, and the tempo changes from a slow cat-and-mouse dance to a full-out blast. This is the most popular track event, and is very exciting.
