You can use the tips and tricks section, where there are some good tips about hilly classics.
One day classics are hard to win, because it's all or nothing. If your leader is strong you should be able to control all the attacks in the final 20km with your friend, the dot! Put it between 70-75, even +80 in the final 5-10km or so. Just experiment with it and you'll see you get results.
For cobbles it's harder. When I tend to do is lean back and relax in the first half. In the second half when the pace is higher, don't maintain position with your leader on a cobbled section, always put on free effort at around 55-60. (on cobbles only) |

If you've got two guys with high cobble stats too - decide on your leader and get the other strong cobblestone rider to protect your leader. As Ian says above, use the dot, also I try to be near the head of the field into cobbles and if you have the riders you can create good gaps there |

For hilly and cobble classics the peleton will usually little by little break into smaller groups. To avoid getting caught in the back I usually tell all my riders to go to the front of the peleton from the start, and then I try to keep them there without uding to much energy (like moving them forward on downhill/flat/no cobble in stead of on more demanding terrain) |
