The lieutenant assists the team leader during the bike race. This experienced and reliable rider assists the race strategy, closes the gap when others attack, leads attacks, and holds the team together.
Even though the lieutenant is not the leader of the team, the role is vital in assisting with the race. The lieutenant assists in linking the other riders to the leader of the team so that the team is able to act fast during the race. Their knowledge of the pace and intentions of the team can alter the direction of the race during long races.
