Race cyclists breaking the rules?

So the other day I got to join to road racers from my local race team on a breakfast ride. One thing I kept noticing was that they would pay very little attention to the stop signs and never stop at them. They would look both ways as they rode through the intersection. But they'd never stop.

They only stopped at red lights.

There was a point where we had a bike lane on the road and I chose to use it but they didn't. It didn't end abruptly or anything and it was pretty nice and clean.

My question is, are these behaviors normal for road racers? or are most of them allot better at following the rules?

Edit: I know that riding on the main portion of the road instead of a bike lane isn't wrong or anything but I just see it as a bit illogical sometimes.
