Do all pro cyclists wear gloves?

No - they are not mandated to wear them as part of their kit. However, a lot do. It all comes down to personal preferences. Very rarely will you see them racing in full-finger road cycling gloves given the season starts in spring. However, perhaps they become a little more frequent during high-altitude stages or when there’s flash bad weather.
