I suspect he's sponsored by lazer since he had 3 models of helmets from Lazer
I would suspect this to be the case.
So a bit of a bias here as that is the only brand seen, but the GENERAL principals are not to far off what Taren is getting at. Also of GREAT importance is head position when riding relative to your torso and how much you can "turtle" you head.
I do get a bit of a chuckle whenever I look at see these time "gains" with all of the modern aero, equipment and gear. I saw a 10 minute gain here for helmet choice in an IRONMAN Bike split - throw in current optimal choice, wheels, frame, skin suit etc . . and are my 5 hour flat IM bike splits from the late 1980's early 1990's now equal to a sub 4:40 split?? :-)
