Are you still in the pub with that dodgy cider stuff the south westerners drink ?
Why do so many Pro Racing Cyclists now have Beards ?

Given the OP's earlier mention of the speed of the dolphin alongside that of the cheetah, I'm somewhat surprised there's not been a single mention of the possible speeds which might well be achievable by underwater cycling.

He has to fill that lovely Santa Cruiz with sand to weigh it down.

The last hirsute winner of a major spring classic was Peter Sagan (Bora-hansgrohe), who won Gent-Wevelgem and Tour of Flanders in 2016. Sagan also won Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne in 2017, sporting a beard and long hair to match.

And he's had a shave and trimmed his hair now - where is Pete this year in the TDF ?
Stubbly Mark is giving him a kicking.

Pro or otherwise is irrelevant. If you're racing you'll want clean legs, and quite probably even if you're not.

Is he a nazirite or something?

We only have to look at Nature to get the answer! the fastest animals regarding less Drag are the Cheetah with micro short hair,and the Dolphin with no hair!
The Dolphin is encountering hydrodynamics not aero dynamics and different aspects of physics come more into play.
The bearded cheetah isn’t very fast under water
The dolphin on a bike is damned slow.
Sorry, but you're going to have to provide evidence.

Here you go. Not exactly aero dynamic is it?
