Out of topic Gerard but an interesting comparison. It actually is the result of the 90s overload of technology and development that transformed cycling, when carbon frames became a trend, that Lotus and many companies such as ZIPP well known for their wheels but also a common contractor to indy and CART teams for their knowledge of composite materials threw a heavy load of aerodynamic development into the "beam" bikes and so on. The UCI reacted by setting standards, rider included and helmet too. It was the Brits and Italian again !!!

If you can master your position, maximise your aerodynamic efficiency and cause the lowest drag possible, that's more WATTS on the distance and the equivalent of power in a car. I do have a couple of fabrics with integrated vortex to help all that
