Sure.
They ride what they are sponsored to ride/give to ride. At Junior and U23 they don't always get the choice.
I think this course has good reason for a double. I could see a single here too. Last year was flat and riders still had doubles. Why anyone would need one, beats me, but they had them, for the same reason as this year. It is what they were given.
The old guys have a bit more choice over what they ride.
