Or did he have worn tyres, or crappy rim tape, or the wrong pressure or rode straight into a pot hole/glass?
I think I've DNFd two races in my entire life because of a flat tyre - one was a crit in Oz and a 50mi TT.
Sure, some courses dictate more reliable tyre choice but blaming a specific model of tyre (excluding the whole lot having a manufacturing defect) is almost never correct.
