Don't #thepros use Ultegra brakes when they want to use bigger tyres?

Look closer at that photo above and you’ll also spot the use of an Ultegra brake caliper, not the Dura-Ace item you might expect to see. This isn’t down to cost, it’s simply because the Ultegra caliper allows greater tyre clearance than the more expensive Dura-Ace brake.
