You're entitled to your opinion of course, but tempos are the last tubs I'd recommend to anyone for riding wooden tracks.
I've seen an awful lot of track tubs in use, and tempos seem fine when new but go hard and slippery very quickly. For the price, there are many, many better options.
In fact, there's not a single continental tubular I'd reccommend over anything else at any level. Riders at top level in the UK tend to use Vittoria pista Evo CS.
Some like the sonderclasse for endurance training, but that's because of durability.
