Dozens of these out there to watch notice none of them are hitting the clutch twice on a heel toe or hel side of the foot shift.
Because they are not double clutching since the gear boxes have synchros, just like our cars. You don't have to double clutch, its just the technique for downshifting that puts the least wear on the synchros and gear box.

Heres a" from the testicles point of view" video of double clutching alternating between just a straight double downshift to a heal and toe double clutch.
