It's hard to keep a secret when the races are held in plain view of everyone. And I think there's a lot more than just a few basic principles. What I've seen from watching and announcing a million races, there's a lot more that can be done in a race than most riders are aware of.
Where I live, riders know one tactic: get a teammate in the break, and shut the field down. That's it.
Very dull racing.
