Yes, the cat levels as well as the over fitness of each rider matters a lot with tactics. Whoever said that fitness comes second over race tactics is a complete ......... A pack fill team, well, all they could do is just sit and can't really control the race. Second, if the riders lack the mental focus to train properly, I doubt that they will follow through their responsibilities. If riders are not confident with their fitness and abilities, they have no tactics to use, period.
