Meh - being pushed more like. Donn is pushing hard. Even then go ask him what Gage Hect was riding when he won nationals. He's on Donn's team. He was on tubulars. Becca is riding tubeless because she has been sponsored by a tubeless company since day one. The best she can say is that it isn't holding her back....which means....

The whole thing with tubeless in cross is that even at it's best it MIGHT perform AS WELL as tubular. It is only ever a benefit when it comes to cost and mounting and considering tubulars can last for seasons I call that a moot point.

This isn't the cross forum though...
