In my experience, the tucked TT position is just as much about generating power as it is being aero. Granted time trials aren't my strongest event when bike racing, being in an aggressive position seated far more forward on the saddle allows me to generate more down force – at least it feels that way. In two similar events a few years ago I went from ~24mph to ~26mph by just adding aero bars to my road bike, and further improvements when I got a full TT bike. I know there are a lot of factors (wind, road conditions, etc.), but sitting in the aero bars really feel far more powerful than sitting upright on the hoods or even in the drops.
