Depending on how close this guy was riding, it's bad form for him not to tell you that he's there.
Also, don't count yourself out on the breakaway: Since I can't sprint, it seems like the only way I've ever won a race. You'd be amazed at how tired everyone else is by lap 14. If you've got big lungs, they can sometimes carry you across the line.
