You should try to put riders that are not too dangerous and also who are more or less of the same level of the other riders that are in the breakaway (of course, always trying to have the best guy of the breakaway if you are really looking to win like that).
If your rider is dangerous for the yellow, polka-dot or green jersey he will have a hard time getting in the break, because other teams will try to bring him down.
Also, if your rider is too far superior to the other riders in the break, those will refuse to cooperate with you because they feel they won't have a chance to beat you should the group arrive together to the end.
The profile of the stage also plays an important role, try to attack on strategic points.
