I'm saying that since Mavic no longer pays (or whatever reason there is for every single national team no longer being on Mavic) that the field is now more open, and we've been seeing other wheel makers represented at the top level (Corima, Campy, Ayaya/Realize, PRO, FFWD, I think I've even seen Lightweight). However, I have yet to see any pursuiters, kilo/500 riders, or even any of the recent (very well funded) hour record riders on an 808/900 (super 9?). I'm thinking that more than a couple of these folks have access to aero testing and the budget for any wheels they want. Just sayin, it's a little curious if the aero results are as cut and dried as you/Zipp are presenting them that basically nobody at top level is using that pair. Not that Zipp aren't a fine pair of wheels.
