the other thing is watch for anyone trying to bridge, and if it's a strong rider, you may want to opt to jump on the wheel of the bridger (don't contribute though) and get a tow to your teammate if the guy bridging is strong enough
this isnt an absolute. part of it is a math problem. if you have 1 teammate up the road against 2 others, you have a 1 in 3 chance (33%) of winning. if you are bridging with another, you might get to a 2 in 5 chance (40%) of winning, but it's really better than that because 1 of you can sit on or animate to make others chase, etc. the other considerations are who are you going across with and who is up the road. if you are following a fast finisher, then you dont want to help take him across. if its someone who is strong but a weak finisher, you add horsepower to the break without necessarily decreasing the chances of a win.
