More than half the stages were won on tubeless tyres, including Tom Pidcock’s epic win on Alpe d’Huez. Tubulars are not totally dead, winning 5 stages, but they are not the dominant choice anymore.

For ordinary club riders/racers there isn’t much point in riding tubulars when you can be just as competitive on clinchers, tubeless or tubed.

On rougher roads, wider tubeless now completely dominate. The last 2 Paris Roubaix were won on tubeless. The very same Contis I use for my daily rides on mixed roads. GP5000S TR for the win!

BTW have you found that interview yet? I wonder how many years ago it was

Thanks for the actual third-party info. Let's see how the internet reacts to facts.
