Looks like these guys are jumping on the bandwagon. The format makes sense, wider profile would only give the tubular more contact area for glueing. Not only that you will be able to expand the footprint of the tire. Riding in the 'well' would seem to also prevent a pinch flat. The three teams I noticed during the RvV was Columbia(Hincapie and Burghardt both finished on the HED's sidenote: Stallion hubs and Sonic hubs) and Cervelo Test Team who Heinrich and Hursvold(came up a little short on finishing) finished on theirs. Team Slipstream with Martjin Maanskant along with Steven Cozza.
The boss has been riding these for awhile and loves them. It really makes a 23mm look like a 25mm. Not one pinch flat from a race tire on the roads we ride is very impressive.
On the mountain bike front..
A little birdy told me to have a looksee at the Team Swiss Power/Scott boys. Could be racing a secret group! Hhhhmmmm? Could it be the SRAM XX? Keep your eye out for pics this weekend as the World Cup race is in South Africa.
