Good article, but I'm going to treat this like any other topic focused on competition.

I ride my bike for exercise, extra drag means more work, means a better work out.

Just like swimming, I've just started swimming this summer and my bathing suit acts like a parachute compared to the speedos the other guys are wearing. More work (more drag) means I'll be stronger.

In boxing the training gloves weigh more than the fight day gloves for a reason.
