Now maybe if you define a pro as someone on the local bike team then maybe, just maybe, you'll find clinchers. But i reckon that's about it. I've researched time and time again and just don't see this changing.

Subtle difference, but real. Sagan and Cav have come on local rides and they have ridden clinchers. That does not mean they race on them, which was the question.
And then there is the pro definition.

I know we all wander on these posts. But the OP was about racing. Not riding, training or how practical they are.

OH please Doge, give me a break. That's like the pot calling the kettle black. Go look at your 3rd post in this thread. I mean jeesh, some people's kids.....

I fixed that. The most-of-the-time qualifier was not good enough I guess.
But you are right, I should have stuck to racing. And maybe the OP could have defined pro.
I think, most think of pros as the WT teams. The ones we see in the TdF and the guest Pro Continental teams that get pulled up.
But then I thought Road cycling was on pavement and used bike with curved handlebars, and not everyone agreed.
