It’s easy for me to imagine that while there may not be any aero penalty at some angles, it’s equally easy to imagine a tilt of the head having dramatic negative effects from the peak on drag.

Pushing up towards a village limit sprint zone with my buddies pushes me near the limit, and then the jockeying for position involves lots of head-checking to see what’s happening and who’s where. Might a peak/visor/brim/bill cost me power and/or speed at a crucial moment? I dunno, but I don’t want to find out either. I only have a handful of moments each summer when I’m in a proper physical state to contest such sprints for the “win,” and while there are no prizes, trophies or memorials for the moments, I derive joy and pride from them, and we often recall them as a group with jokes and great fondness, so they are significant…to me.
