I know you were joking, but for those who honestly wonder . . . the point is a savings of 6 to 9 minutes in a 100 mile race. That's the aero advantage according to the Specialized Win Tunnel. That's substantially more benefit than even the deepest aero wheelset.


And yes, at the emergency room after a crash (and in the days after that), it's very nice to have the skin "prepped" to accept cleaning and bandages.
