They obviously use different sized frames, given that the height of the riders varies. Andy Schleck likley does not ride the same frame size as Mark Cavendish.

What you can say as a generality is that Pro riders today, tend to ride smaller frames than typically ridden by recreational riders of the same height.

One major reason for this is that it facilitates a greater drop from the bar to the seat, encouraging a more aerodynamic position.
