The benefit of an aero bike is limited when, by UCI decree, half of the rider's body must be perpendicular to the induced wind. The UCI allows a trickle of innovation to introduce very small gains, but again I suspect the rate of trickle is largely a factor of 'donations' going to the UCI officials.

The fairing on that fUCI bike looks replaceable. Besides, the rider wouldn't be looking through it.
