tactics in small groups
Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 6:52 pm
In escape groups or favourites groups at the of difficult races it is often impossible to split the group as everybody follows everybody else. In reality it is possible to split the group with a surprise attack.
So my suggestion is to make it more difficult to follow if the group is small, especially when the tempo is low (or non at all). It could also be random to a certain extend (one rider is looking the other way, the other is right on the back wheel). So it is possible to attack out of a non functioning group even if everybody else wants to follow you.
