Or maybe not. Strasser:

A cut in the tyre, 6 flats, only 4 spare tubes - these are the hard facts of the parcours earlier today. Was a tough one for the head. Nearly running out of food and water even if I was well prepared before the parcours.
Thankfully no crash. I survived this section and I am happy to ride on! This is TCR!

Too cool, or too sponsored, to use patches!

I've only ever carried two tubes, on the basis I have two wheels, plus loads of patches, plus something to make a boot out of.

To be fair, he mentioned patching some tubes. But the main strategy is clearly "get all the tubes!"
