Hey, wait a minute...
I was watching a GCN video this weekend showing some of this year's current World Tour bikes debuting at the Tour Down Under. Everyone is on 25s or 28s. Ineos is using 25 front and 28 rear. More and more teams are moving away from tubulars, and towards tubeless.

Obviously, those pro team managers and mechanics are idiots.
