My comment was more general, as in that lots of truths and myths about bicycling stems from people talking about different speeds. So stuff like "x doesn't matter" some amateurs say, but that x actually starts to matter when the speed increases. Or the opposite, lots of marketing about how product y saves z watts making us amateurs buy it, but then that test was on a already perfect setup at high speeds we're never gonna reach.
But given most data is pointing to wider being better (or, not less effective but more comfortable) I'm wondering why pros aren't running wider.
