Do Tour pros tend to ride lower saddle heights?

With the Tour on TV again, my annual question is surfacing again, and this time thought I'd ask others: do the pro riders tend to have their saddles a touch lower than normal?

When I watch them, about 20 percent have a saddle height that I identify with. The rest seem like they are riding with their saddles about a cm or two below where I would put it.

Maybe I ride with my saddle a little higher than normal -- I think that's the obvious conclusion. But I've never asked. Any perspective very welcome.
