Out of the saddle position

I only use the drops for sprint, or on an effort into strong headwind.
Rest of time on hoods, for climbing, on hoods or middle of bars.

Pantani used to climb on the drops most of the time and so does Valverde so it must have some benefits.

Everytime the front cover is like this and got me wondering if I was doing something wrong.

The pictue is tilted to give the impression he's going up hill when in reality it's just flat.

MBUK are particularly bad for this. They're forever tilting photos to make things look steeper than they actually are. There's no excuse for it imho and is just lazy photography.
