A professional team would never do a training ride on a MUP, so they must be poseurs.
Think about it - this is the perfect time in Sacramento to emulate a pro team, which is the poseur's raison d'etre.

Clearly. Seeing that I'm the one riding with a bunch of wannabe's on an MUP the kit of a team that I don't belong to.
See! They just want people to think they're pros. What friggin' losers.

Heh, talk about poseurs, but not on the MUP. I think it was Psimet, but could be wrong, if it wasn't him, he was there when the story was told at Penny Road Pub last year after one of our rides. Him, or whoever it was, was riding west of Chicago on a lonely country road. He then went to close a nostril and blow. At that time someone came around and said, "Hold your snot" or something like that, and it ended up being Christian Vande Velde. Thus far, I think I have been the only poseur on our local trails

Haha why is it impossible for Rabobank to be riding on a MUP days before the Tour of California? Is there some UCI rule that Pro teams can't ride on MUPs? Sometimes the rampant cycling snobbery that takes over in here is kinda sad.

I love it. Is it really such a fine line between fred and the real deal that the racer-poseurs on this forum can't distinguish**********?
