This. 95% of team tactics at the amateur level, especially lower amateur levels, center around two things. 1: covering moves and 2: not chasing down a teammate.
That's it.
The rest of that 5%
could be a lead out, but really all you need for a lead out is a sprinter and another sprinter/strong man. Anything more than those two people is superfluous and unnecessary.
So if you are not said sprinter or other sprinter/strong man, then you're not doing anything in the final kms that another team or rider wouldn't be doing. Park yourself on the wheel of someone who's consistently top fiving and follow that wheel to the line.
