Aerodynamic Question

I have done Barb's Race the last three years. It's in late July/early August in the Santa Rosa area of CA.

Those would be legal for tris and TTs, including draft legal tris, since they don't seem to extend beyond the reach of the drops. They would not be legal for mass start road races.

Actually, regarding the original question, I don't think he's trying to be aerodynamic, I think he's really just resting. You see it a lot in the pro peloton. I've tried it and it's hard to do, you really can't steer at all, but it is a little bit of a rest on a long ride.
