Me too. I had missed these the first time around, when they were posted in response to a thread about the 2014 Cervelo P2/P3. The former chief engineer for Cervelo wrote that their wind tunnel tests showed that the front derailleur hanger, a small tab that hangs off the down tube, generated more drag than the down tube itself. Crazy.
