Perhaps not behind a professional athlete - but behind my rear? There is plenty of eddy space in which to hide all kinds of non-aero stuff!

If anyone does buy a rear carrier, make sure it can handle the weight of the bottles (with full water) and be able to absorb the shock of a bumpy road. I witnessed a cyclist launch his bottles after the bracket broke. I don't think either bottle escaped destruction. It happened at a bridge contraction joint at about 40 mph. Cannot say what the bracket material was.I would guess reinforced plastic?
