Neither of those are comprehensive no matter how you look at them but they offer something.
Finally, if you've never been in a bike race, a helmet cam clip is a great way to check out the action first hand. If you're in CT, all the better since you'll probably race one of the races. The clips with the most editorial content (i.e. comments on tactics and such):
