So, it's OK for a tubular to roll on a track bike? No brakes, no heat
buildup, no long decents...?

He didn't say that. What he said was that the tire did not cause the
crash. Sireau was a goner before the tire came off. Watch the video.

But even so, a rolled tire _during_ a crash is a problem - whipping
effect, sudden immobility of the wheel, etc. If you're in a crash,
you'd rather have the wheel be free-spinning and self-contained.

You're still confusing a rolled tire as _contributing_ to a crash with a
tire that rolled _because_ of a crash. Having a free spinning, self
contained wheel would not have changed the outcome of that event whatsoever.

This may be similar to the Tour a few years ago. Beloki maybe.
Armstrong was in the front group, and Beloki hit a melted patch of tar
on top of a mountain and went sideways. His wheel then hit dry
pavement and the carbon tubular wheel snapped from suddenly gaining
traction again. And the tire came off. Surprise surprise. And he
crashed. Tire coming off had no effect on the crash. And Armstrong
went off the side of the road and down the hill on the grass and
caught back up with the lead riders with no harm done.

Clive,
Thanks much - amazing save by Bauge. Can't blame the crash on the tubular,
nor its glue.
