I don't recall hearing any pro level racer blipping the throttle. We tend to only blip enough just to raise the rpms enough for a smooth transition of gears. When you hear someone blipping the throttle so much that it sounds like noticeable blip for each shift then they are wasting time.
The superbikes and maybe the 600 classes of today use speed shifts on both up and down shifts which require you to not blip the throttle and just shift letting the electronics do all the work. Any extra rider input only confuses the system.
