But other some internal routing I can’t see anything aero about this bike or the position on the bike. What am I missing?
Have you seen pidcock? I mean, they clearly put him though on too a hot wash and he's come out bloomin tiny, no wind resistance at all, he'd be aero on a Raleigh chopper.
Remember this from 2014... a veritable jargon-fest of nonsense.
all adds up though, a watt here, a watt there
Aero changes aren’t ‘free’ watts though, there’s usually a compromise somewhere. For road bikes it’s often weight - ‘aero’ frames are usually a bit heavier, wheels even more so. It’s whether those changes are a worthwhile compromise at MTB speeds.
I’d have thought that an efficient pedalling platform and descending ability was more important than aero changes but I’m sure someone has done the maths.

I think that tiny doesn’t equal aero. The opposite in fact. Try dropping a spider
The guys who win time trials are usually by cycling standards big. More engine not much more drag

That’s my thoughts
