Here are 2 other bikes that were racing up/down the canyons:

Unless a rider get their knees touching the ground, he isn't working at it too hard. I'd say the guy you were following either was either a novice or intermediate level rider. Or perhaps just had one too many falls and is now taking it easy. I'm a rider myself and it only took me a few spills to learn that pushing hard (especially when a car is closely following you) is a bad idea.
