Except you're not. Because that's how slow they are. Comparing good tires to gatorskins, and all else the same, in 100 accumulated miles or so, I will go fast enough to get a flat, change the tire, and get going again before you'd catch up and pass.
That's the
actual end of the story. Doesn't matter if you're elite or not.
