1. Know your weakness..if you never mix it up in the "go to the hospital fight for the front last turn field sprint" dont...
2. Save energy....brake less and coast alot more and see how low you can keep your watts for the entire day..big monster pulls are silly and for show unless your chasin do or die break..
3. Ride dumb...sometimes. If your feeling good and course suits your strengths. Pull some fake attacks or get gaped off but not in a negative way..dont be a dick..
4. Pick the Right move. There are many moves, and then theirs the right one. Know the riders that are able to make a break work , some guys just dont stand a fuckin chance in hell at going away. Know em 
5. Soften the field. When small moves go. Don't be the first to jump. Let others do the work to bring it back..
6. Probe like attacks. Small attacks in the right place will let you know who might be ready or able to go the distance..
7. Make your opponents your allies. When the move goes and your in it, find the right guy who you know wont get dropped or make cheese dick like moves and who also has a riding style is similar to yours and stick with him
8. Talk to people. Communication in the field sometimes is a good way and creating the above,,
9. In it for the long term, when its time and you make the selection go all in if that means you die on the sword. 
10. Avoid getting marked..dont make all your moves big wattage jumps. Stop looking so fresh..
11. Watch the quiet guy...you know there's always a few. The wheel is always there but never at the front or in the rotation..
12. Goal adjusting, UH oh its raining and i suck in the rain, or Holy fuckin Bat turds 10 dudes show up on game day that were not on pre-reg, and all are hitters. Ooops what's this i have complete shit legs for no reason. Its cool and wise to maybe adjust the days goals day of.
13. Your warm up, Not super important for a 100 mile road race, more important for a hard ass crit, and even more so for a TT. Have a plan and try to avoid the parking lot warm up. 
14. I’m TMS...and I hate TMS
