completely the other way round for me, I'm the only one riding 26"...! i can see the argument from both sides- clearly the 26" riders are doing something right...but I know alot of people that insist that riding natural is a whole lot easier on a mod... looking at the UCI results from hook woods, there's a big difference in scores between the top 3 in 20" and 26" yellow, but i'm not sure that's all due to wheel size. As mentioned before in here, alot of the 20" riders have alot less experience- andy chai was amazed to have come 3rd! i don't think it's all bad news... edit- the UK national (BIU) results in red route from hook woods show the 20" riders with much lower scores than the 26"...?
