There was another Italian who, although officially part of the event, was definitely "rogue".
Absolutely no sense whatsoever of sharing the road with motor vehicles, and far too blatant to be excused by having to ride on the "wrong" side of the road.
He wanted to ride and take turns with me for a while, except his turns were always shorter, and once I got a feel for his style I made sure I was nowhere near him.
I'm almost certain it was the same guy Mrs S & I tried to ride with in 2013, except he simply could not accept a female being in front, and every time it was her turn he'd blast off up the road, only to slow down a km or so later and repeat.
Dickhead.
