I'm just starting my second season. Here's what I've learned so far.

Be aggressive at the start.
Fight hard for the corners.
Don't be afraid to get up close and personal with the tape.
Stay off your brakes as much as possible.
Spend the extra effort to get around sketchy riders even if they're not in your field.
Get your dismounts/remounts down.
Play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
Dig in where others get discouraged.
