A good part of team strategy is good leadership and good statistics, i.e.,knowing

lacking....

This is so very true!  At the 1998 WEC in Dubai I did not
know what place I was in all day!  
I was not even certain that I was in the top ten when I 
crossed the finishline!  It is
a very frustrating to ride "blind" in a race of this 
significance.  I never knew where my teammates were and
did not have a clue as to how they were doing.  The USA is 
going to have to get much smarter in how to coach team 
riders if we are going to be consistently successful in
team competitions.
