For the context you have to go back a few posts. This was a counter point to aero being more important than weight and an illustration that the most aero stuff is not always used.
It depends on several things what you choose, and as you can see from other pictures and the milling around video (done for @teatonrider) it is pretty much as you say.
nope--you kind of missed my point. the poster asked about wheels; i recommended wheels ~404-depth. i said aero is more important than saving ~100-150g (based on his question).

you extrapolated this to double disks in a mass start race???

::facepalm::

also, i know plenty of guys who do not have tons of equipment choices available to them, regardless of category. video of a start of a local race doesn't really prove anything, one way or the other.

just because lots of people place higher value on lighter gear (which is easily quantified and easily felt in the parking lot) doesn't make it faster.
