...and there is no way that the added oxygen at sea level would more than offset the increased atmospheric drag. As pointed out, these sprints are an anaerobic exercise. The best speed could be achieved by riding a standard road bike in a vacuum while the rider holds his breath.

I did see a paper online the other day but did not snag it.I caught a glimpse of a CdA in a table.Something like 0.063 meters squared.It was at an extremely small image scale.
The bike should be below Cd 0.11 and frontal area should be around 4-sq-ft.Weight should be in neighborhood of 200-lbs with rider.Just SWAG.
