This is a situation I've found myself in, but as the "tailgater".
My commute drops about 2000ft going to work, so I do a lot of EOC and often build excess speed in some spots.
If I come up behind someone, I pass if it's practical.
If I know that I'm about to lose speed on the approaching rise, I follow at the speed of my "leader", rather than get in his way.
If he slows down further, I do too, because I'm still in EOC. I can't know how far he's going to slow down until it happens and I've been "stuck" behind someone turning without signaling before.
