Funny bike story at the race yesterday

So I'm out doing the local Oly race yesterday and there's this guy on the bike that's ALL over the road. Wiggling more than Jell-O. on a road bike with aerobars. So I pass him. A little later, he passes me back. I pass him again. Then he passes me again, wiggly as can be, and wiggles himself right off the road! He gets back on the road without falling, so I set out to pass him again. He goes "oh, you again?" and I said "I'm trying to get away from you, you are making me nervous". A little later he passes me again.
I was definitely giving this guy the appropriate no. of bike lengths! I passed him again and thought it was going to stick. I didn't see him for a while.
Later in the race, he passes me yet again, and again goes off the road, off the gravel shoulder and into the grass. While he's in the grass I pass him.
Then he finally passed me back and I didn't see him again.
Until the run.
I passed him on the run, said "it's me again" and he cursed as a response, to which I simply told him I was really glad he survived that bike ride and didn't crash.
As I was running away from him I heard him telling his buddy that he 'just got' these aerobars on his bike and he's having a heck of a time controlling it (the bike). I remember thinking, gee, shouldn't you have practiced with them more first????
Thankfully I ran away from him and never saw him again.
