Interesting "Hydration & Aerodynamics" article from Cervelo.
Mounting a bottle B(etween)TA(rms) looks like a win, empty or not, but I don't see anyone doing this: is it because people tend to have the extensions so narrow, that the arms are effectively one unit now, doing the same thing as the bottle?
Thinking about what they say on B(ehind)TA(rse) bottles taming the airflow off the back, is this what Specialized were thinking with the Sitero? The (fixed) position certainly isn't the easiest from which to pluck a bottle.
Similarly, the Selle Italia Iron has a fairing, but I'd think the blunt tail wasn't particularly good in this regard.
