When you're finishing 5 minutes off the pace, the fact that your uber-aero wheels and frame saved you more absolute time than they saved the winner is totally irrelevant.
It's like spending thousands of dollars and putting performance parts on a Yugo. BFD. If you
really want to get faster spend your money on a coach who knows what he's doing instead.
