I can't remember where but I remember a pro saying he was only going to race on tubeless after he won some race and discovered he got a flat which sealed, although I know tubulars can be run with sealant, but that was the story. Very gradual though. I suspect a large part is the peloton being conservative until a TdF win can be attributed to new technology.
