Probably safe to assume the same percentage increase applied to go from single rider in drops to single rider on the hoods can be multiplied with the results for the tandem category.

Question is: If you're one who is thinking about all this power/drag stuff, why wouldn't you be in the drops under windy and/or "wanting-to-hammer" conditions?

EDIT: I must type too slow....Sorry for the late reply
