ok data ponts.

Have I ever rolled a tubular? No.

Have I crashed as a result of rolling a flatted clincher? Yes?

Have I flatted a tubular and finished the race on the flat? Yes? (although Abraham Olano was much more impressive.)

There just isn't an issue here. Tubulars have an advantage in the event of a flat. Tubulars on CF rims may have a bit of adavantge with heat issues, although Carbon clinchers are getting much better.

Trying to argue that tubulars are somehow a safety issue is just silly.
