At the highest level of cycling, what you call "negligible" is known colloquially as "marginal gains", and "marginal gains" are what win/lose races!

- mvkel 2y agoThat's some Team Sky logic ;) It doesn't matter when you have to ride your sponsor's bike. Example: Pogacar's Colnago is decidedly not aero; Cavendish's Wilier ain't the best sprinter bike. But they're all competitive, because like I said, the role the frame plays in the overall "system" is negligible. It's marketing. The aero gains on the new Madone are entirely in the handlebar, and are erased if you add a rider to the bike.
