Unless I was racing in the pro field, I couldn't care less about there being one in the races I sign up for. Seems most pro fields aside from championships are pretty watered down with B level pros making up 75%+ of the field, half these guys/girls get beat by AGers anyway.This is not a fair statement to make. Racing out of a pro field is entirely different than AG field and requires a somewhat different skill set. Yes there are a couple pros that shouldn't be in the pro field but really it is few and far between. On the flip side there have been top-notch amatuers who abused the amatuer field every single time, turn pro, and then went back to the age-group field because they recognized it is a totally different game out of the pro wave.
I'm only discussing the male side, I can't speak to women's racing. But I can say this, the hardest ride in the last 10 years of my life was on my commuter (which I ride with male pros too), was with a top female pro. She would abuse any age-male except for a select few at the top of Kona. Total bad-ass on the bike.
