The above post leaves out the reason I have tubulars on my race bike - they are faster, and you can pump them up to much higher pressures. Of the Pros that I know, I don't know one who rides on clinchers.
I use clinchers for my training bike, because tubulars are too expensive, and too much a pain in the butt (and expensive) to change.
