Without getting into the fancy math of it, even at my extreme (for a cyclist) proportions, when I get tucked into the drops with my back flat, I'm not THAT much less inefficient than smaller dudes. So my considerable advantage in momentum more than outwieghs my relatively small areodynamic disadvantage.
