I know, few members of the public remember the last 2 (nearly 3!) decades of weather forecasting. They say the forecasts are "always wrong", but when asked for an example of a significantly wrong example, they tend to go to 1987. Surprisingly, the introduction of satellite imagery and high powered computing revolutionised weather forecasting.

Let's be honest, a less than 1 min lap tabled as 'data' is probably so remote from the bike's actual relative performance stat's we're verging on Pythonism (particularly the argument sketch).

certainly not the ideal test. I don't think there is an ideal test... I also set 10 mile and 10 lap PBs, not the "track session" (just over 20 miles) though, but I was stopping/slowing to talk to the new recruits.

Its almost impossible to really separate the bike and the rider to get a bike X takes y off your time over z distance(maths stuff...).
If 2/3 of drag is from the riders body then simply changing how you sit on your bike could make a huge difference.
Its like globe warming/cooling...no one really knows what is going happen...they just make guesstimates of how it will all pan out...
If you feel it makes you faster then it does, I would take any advantage...even a placebo
