Very interesting, but also needed a mention of the crazy "discesista" that was Paolo Savoldelli [1], I think he won a Giro one year based on a crazy descent like that.
In his case I don't think it was only a question of aerodynamics, it never is, it was also that he seemed to know best how much risks he could take when entering a curve (similar to how Formula 1 cars used to be in the past, nowadays they're too "computerized" for that to matter that much anymore).
