It'd be a tiny amount slower, you could probably find a measurable difference, but aerodynamics would probably be a bigger factor, so you couldn't be sure (we're talking like a hundredth of a second in flying 200 here - doesn't sound like much, but those hundredths are hard won for true sprinters!)
Personally, I'd go for it over a hire bike - the geometry is so much better. They may be flexy, but they're great value starter bikes. Those Condors are so upright they may as well be Dutch city bikes 😅
