it shouldn't be that way. with the pros, it's the breakaways that often win - with the sprinters' teams having to work like dogs to set up a sprint finish. but at club level, you can rely on some random punter(s) to chase down a breakaway attempt like the hounds of hell, only to fade away - exhausted, allowing someone else to emerge from the middle of the bunch to take the win. race tactics at club level are just generally undeveloped.vosadrian wrote:I am not trying to say that a sprint win is all about power and nothing about tactics. I just think that it takes more tactics for breakaways along with a good dose of multi rider collaboration, and the odds of a win are still much lower than for a sprint.... so I can understand the frustration of those who cannot win a bunch sprint at least in my area where I race.

The aim of a race is to win and therefore I would think that employing tactics which help you do this should be the goal, not impressing those around you?
