Eventually, I pop off a full on sprint, diving toward the yellow or white line, get a gap, and bridge back up by myself.

If he comes around to bridge himself, I wheelsuck him back to the break, then I attack really hard once we get there (since I haven't been working at all for a minute or so).

I haven't ever asked someone to leave a break.
That's a good tactic but wouldn't work at a higher cat I would think. If I saw you fresh and suddenly you lose the wheel in front of you and I'm behind, I'd be jumping to close that gap right away.
