Some of us here are trying to share what we have learned from racing at National and Professional level, who have won races, to answer your questions.

Not entirely sure this was aimed at me. I’ll be the first to admit that I am at best a middling amateur bike racer. However the nature of bike racing in the U.S. means that a decent amateur race ends up in races against top level professionals. So, I’ve raced against some f the best riders in the world. And being fortunate enough to afford some great cycling experiences, I’ve ridden all over,the world with some incredibly talented people and rubbed elbows with the best of the best cyclists.
None of that makes me super special, but gives me some insight.
