Yea, you can be a tactical genius! Coming from a life time of hang on for the sprint & pick up whatever crumbs were left, I've often wondered what it would be like to actually have tactics early in a race.
Agree on your basic premise of finding speed. In particular aero clothing gives a huge boost, especially in the wind. A bonus, for me is a speed suit is more comfortable than bibs/jersey on hot days.
