I see this type of behavior more often than I should. I think the polite term is "inappropriate riding formation and poor comportment on the road," although I have a better description for them.
It's remarkable what kind of "group think" mentality can be created when a bunch of guys put on the same jersey.
I agree you showed amazing constraint. Too bad you didn't accidentally break his arm "defending" yourself...
I think you got your punctuation wrong. It should be "What the hell?? Were they thinking???"
IME, the honest-to-God racers stay as far as possible from MUPs when they're training. The ones who pull that kind of nonsense tend to be cat 5's who honestly belong it cat 10, if there were such a thing. They were probably banned from official team rides for terminal stupidity, and that's why they were on the MUP in the first place.
