Instead of using high volume tires at low pressures, would it not be more optimal to use some form of actual, real suspension (maybe even tunable) plus lower volume tires at higher pressures to prevent flats? Formula 1 cars use suspension to go faster on the smoothest tracks in the world, so why don't racing bikes use suspension, especially on roads like these? Air-filled tires seems like a VERY PRIMITIVE form of suspension, which has the downsides highlighted by this race. I know suspension has been used previously in Paris-Roubaix, so why are high volume tires now seen as a better solution?
