In SS arc he first point his sword in neck (Byakuya didn't see him), second time Ichigo got behind his back again without Byakuya noticing him. Later Ichigo got slower since he was hit by Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (before going bankai) and wounds later effected Ichigo's speed, Byakuya said this himself. Yes, Ichigo in Bankai is faster than Byakuya.Bankai ichigo was not faster than Byakuya that's why Byakuya choose to fight him sword to sword cuz he had a better chance that way instead of useing his petals they were even in speed but then ichigo spirtual pressure started slowing him down..
An Byakuya did not out speed #7 he out smarter him.
