So... a few 2,000+ mile stage races, even more 800-1,000 mile races, hundreds of thousands of feet of climbing, and training year round isn't a lot of time in the saddle?
Road bike saddles are thin and not meant to support the sit bones. Pro racers spend little time seated. They usually get up and try to get as much power from spinning than they do from actual riding. There is no such constraint on most cyclists who ride on normal bike saddles.
