+Star Sloth That's not nearly as hard as it might look like it would be. The relative speed is what matters. The gears on these bikes are so massive, if one of them suddenly stomped on the pedals he would only accelerate slowly. Keeping the same pace as the bike in front of you is not something you even have to think about. (Think about the peloton in racing, where 200 cyclists are going the same speed bunched together way closer than this without crashing (usually :) ).

For anyone who's wondering why the first cyclist goes to the back of the line, there's drafting/slipstreaming that makes it easier to pedal for the back of the line. So the first cyclist spends the most power, and they're taking turns on the first one

I'm American and have never seen this before. Though I'm certainly not a rider, I know enough about cycling to know that wind resistance is definitely a thing, even inside a building. The only thing I was 'confused' about was the goal of the race. I had to come to the comment section (or I could have googled it) to figure out it was first team to have 3 riders hit 4km. Going purely by the title ("pursuit" in particular) with no knowledge of the sport, I was thinking partway through that the winning condition was having one team's lead racer lap the other team's lead racer. In other words, I thought it was a vs. match, when it was actually a time trial. Still interesting.

Most velodromes do not allow brakes due to safety reasons. Also you normally should not need shorter cranks on the velodrome, velodrome rules are different for each velodrome. Some velodromes may have steeper banks than others. There are people who ride custom 190mm cranks that do just fine on the velodrome tracks. Best bet is to call your local velodrome and ask as much questions needed. Even better if you still don't know if your bike is track legal, take your bike there and ask the staff. Happy riding

It's basically a team time trial. Each team starts with 4 riders on opposite sides of the track. The time is measured until the 3rd rider finishes.

The time of each team is taken when the 3rd rider's back wheel crosses the finish, which is why the riders bunch up at the end. Because only 3 riders are needed to finish, but 4 are needed to start, usually the rider that is the most exhausted is the one which peels off. Also, the rider at the front has more work to do because he's facing the most air resistance as his teammates draft behind him (which is why they take turns in front).
