Are they even testing no helmet?
Course not - there's no money in it! The last message a manufacturer wants to see is that their super aero helmet is better than all the competition, but worse than nothing, or than a cheap fairing. But a road helmet has got to be worse - its more or less doubling the size of your head!
Unlikely.
None of the people I've seen testing positions are leaving without helmets. Now maybe the road position is different but I still think it's unlikely that bare is better aerodynamically.
