You're not looking at what I wrote. The speed profile will always be above the linear one I'm using as the limit situation. For any other speed profile that accounts for the drag force the maximum speed will be closer to the average speed he reached which doesn't change, so his maximum speed is inferior or equal to the maximum speed calculated supposing it's a linear equation.
Let me write something clearer with images and graphs here.
