DP run theirs year round, but the attendace is lower in winter.
Normally 28 teeth is the smallest on a normal rear cage. But the point that some have tried to put across is you wont need a triple or compact, because if you need to push smaller than 39 something, you'll be off the back. And if you're racing a criterium, you won't need to be out of the 53.
It's not the weight of a tripple, it's the fact it would be redundant.
