Why?
Other than tubeless marketing bollocks tubular is the obvious choice when you have team cars. You can ride on them for ages when they're flat without them coming off. They don't have rim hooks to worry about so far less chance of pinch flat, which is still more likely with tubeless (the tyre, obvs).
They didn't reveal the nature of the punctures so it's equally possible he just rode in the gutters and picked up a bunch of thorns. But the way he says he regrets his choice makes it sound like they're not right for the job.

tubeless sounds ideal for PR but 25mm...
Well he is lighter than us, but yeah, 25mm is old school sizes, and I'm surprised* he accepted tubeless given the massive advantage of tubular in the Classic (as Hippy just said).
*Well not entirely as it is sponsored.

tubeless sounds ideal for PR but 25mm (especially for a heavier guy like him) sounds way too little.
