Where I live, riders know one tactic: get a teammate in the break, and shut the field down. That's it.
Very dull racing.
Combined field races where you have teammates in both fields can lead to very interesting tactics. Sometimes working for one teammate is working against the other. Then you have to decide which one has the better chances. Fun stuff.
