To get the same thumb grip on a Drop bar you do it in the drops. as your hand can only slide down or up. the only way it comes off is about 6" backwards. or letting go.
anatomy will not allow you the same grip on the hoods.
I don't get it. The grip is almost the same, just rotated from the flat bars grip. Even though this guy is gripping loosely, the thumb and fingers wrap around the hoods. There is no issue with losing your grip or sliding off the hoods.
