Agree with that.
PBP isn't a race for most riders so not many are looking for fastest setup.
TCR has risk of Macedonian gravel and, last year, was very hilly so i ruled out carbon wheels for it.
Kristof is pretty conservative with his equipment so will probably use box section rims.
For mike, given he's using aero wheels, I can't see why he's not using a disc.
Durability concerns? Spoked wheels can be trued/kicked back into life whereas if, say, he drops his bike the disc is possibly out of action.
Covers? I guess the sponsors wouldn't like that
