Personally, I suspect that will involve a trip to the mortuary....

He was also in full Sunweb kit, but the gut gave the game away somewhat.

He thought the prices were utterly ridiculous.

100KG of lycra & bike striking a glancing blow to a 2 ton car will probably result in scratches as the bike will decelerate quickly.
a 2 ton car hitting a 100KG of lycra & bike will probably result in death that is a lot of energy to dissipate.

In the worse case:
1. The road warrior can scratch your car as they aren't injuring a person.
2. You will either end up in an accident situation injuring a person, or with points and a fine from the police.

If you hit the road warrior you will likely injure him.
Plus depending where you are in the country the road warrior could be a plain clothes police officer doing the close pass thing or similar a lot of police forces have decided to do, so you would either be given "advice" on your driving or get points and a fine.

But if I go past a cyclist with a 15-20 mile an hour difference only give them 'inches' of space - everyone loses their minds.
Can anyone explain?
