Pro-Tour Rider or Wannabe?

Near Swanwick in Hampshire - I think it was either the 20th or 21st May, I was out around 0730hrs in the car and had trouble keeping up with a rider in FULL BMC kit, riding a BMC Team Machine. It was a 30 limit and he was around this speed on rolling bumps.

Anyone know of any BMC riders who may train around here? He was obviously a very capable rider, but I'm confused as to whether he was a BMC rider, or just an avid fan.

    Either way, if he was riding as you say then he must be pretty handy on a bike.

    I think they were both quite busy racing the tour of Italy in May ?

    Come on guys, work it out...

    Cyclist can maintain speed by going in between the speed bumps, whereas in a car, I don't know about you, but I personally wouldn't want to be hitting speed bumps at 30.
