Completely unconvincing. If you have a race to do, you do the race - if you have to borrow a strange bike, saddle or whatever, you do it. The only difference between borrowed bikes and their own is that they're not being paid to ride those ones.
In any other sport, a participant would borrow kit and make do and mend. Even golfers will borrow different clubs they've never used before, a much bigger difference than using another bike, and they're too lazy to even do a real sport.
