Long, Steve

You mean like Beloki's 2003 tdf crash when the tublular rolled off the
rim?

Well, consider this:

The track is banked at something like 43 degrees. As someone who's
fallen from the VERY top, I can attest that it's a long ways down.

If you get a puncture on that banking, odds are a clincher will come
off. Riding a bare rim on the 43 degree banking would probably suck.

If you puncture with a tubular, it will at least stay on the rim, giving
you enough traction to make it to the infield.
