Mostly Tacx, whilst warming-up for a TT they use the Satori's(very good and not too expensive, I use them myself very happy about those). I guess they use Tacx Bushido at home because they can than read their poweroutput and heartrate etc...

I'll chime in that the Computrainer is a popular winter indoor trainer for the pros. Generally it is regarded as being more heavy-duty than the Tacx or Elite trainers.

The Tacx Bushido is nice because it does not require a power outlet.

I don't beleive that there are indoor trainers present because as per i know it is the outdoor game and a ground is needed for the practice.

I think which ever one sponsors them. But I would think if they have power on the bikes they wouldn't bother with a power meter on the trainer. Also they tend to go to spain or some place to train when the weather is really crap.

Get a Fluid Trainer, not wind (too noisy) and not magnetic resistence.

I got a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. Very nice piece of kit. Easy to set up and pretty good to ride on.
