Yeah, it'd be like telling marathoners they have to wear a specific model of shoe. There's so many factors that go into comfort etc.

Except that the team get sponsored by a manufacturer, and it's not picked by the riders.

To an extent, and seemingly always with frames. But pro riders often use parts that aren't "sponsership approved" - they just make them all black or similar (rather than have another manfacturer's logo on them)

And the manufacturer then works with the team/riders to make sure they get a bike that works for them.
