That's just about every tactic for every team ever.
Once you get up the road, the other two guys can try to make sure the break stays away. Someone from one of the other teams is going to miss the break and be desperate to bridge up. One of your guys (not the sprinter) needs to get on the wheel of the wannabe bridger and force him to sit up or tow him up to the break. Most of those guys will sit up if they don't get away clean.
