Default Are some of these old racers riding track bikes?

Can you guys tell if the riders having no brake levers on their bars are riding track bikes? Thanks.

I believe that bikes fitted with coaster brakes are still seen, No
brake levers at all, when you pedal backward it actuates the brake
built into the rear hub.
