As a PERCENT OF OVERALL TIME a faster rider has a greater saving and that's all that matters. Talking about the TOTAL amount of time saved is a false metric that creates the marketing non-sense that prevails in the land of 20deg yaw angles.

Are you just trolling because I've never seen you so completely miss a point.
I'll admit Bob, I'm having trouble seeing your point. What exactly is Cervelo misrepresenting or disingenuous about? You seem upset that using their equipment results in a significant time savings for slower riders. I can't tell if you don't believe that actually occurs or you're just unhappy that slower riders get a benefit from aero gear.
I suppose what gets under your skin is the claim that slower riders benefit
more than faster riders from aero gear. Slower riders save more time in a TT with a given aero change. Even though the difference is small and the improvements for both fast and slow riders is significant, it irritates you that Cervelo highlights that slower riders save more time than faster riders.
