No this is not me.
Can’t wait to hear the ST comments on this one…

What the f*ck is that over his eyes?
I’m betting it’s easier to pee on the bike in this position.
I think that bike is cool and I want to try it
.
It’s mirrors at 90 degrees so he can put his head totally down and see forward lol.
That’s one position where the Adamo would NOT be a good saddle…

DAMNIT!!! You beat me to it!
In all seriousness, I think it is illegal, I’m pretty sure recumbants are not allowed. Probably would be crazy fast though…
His seat is too high.
I want to see him on a steep climb, out of the saddle.
Of course its fast, look how blurry the background is!
i wonder if Profile Design makes a riser kit for that?
I fail to see how this is any more aero than a standard recumbent with the rider lying on his back.
it might be lighter and more efficient since the chain isn’t 12 feet long

Perhaps for a RWD. I’d think that weight would be negligible and remember aero trump weight 
but I’d be surprised if the efficiency would drop dramatically enough to justify lying on your stomach.
I would bet that it takes a lot more,energy to ride. Your abs would,have to contract against your body weight as well as pushing the pedals. Also your hamstrings would have to hd your legs up in a way that no other bicycle requires.
Im sure its more aero than a saftey bike but less fast.

Good point, also lying on your stomach would also compress your diaphragm making it harder to get a full breath, also making you less efficient.

maybe.
the best way to test this?
a race! stomach bike vs recumbent!

Or as it’s better know “Battle of the Nerds!”
Not legal in tris, but neither is this one (but I’d want to try both):
