And assuming that head is in the same position for both.
I personally get lower with my palms on the hoods and forearms on the bars,tucked; as opposed to riding in the drops.
I know a lot of guys like to go 'pro' and just lay the forearms on the bartops alongside the stem, but with our road conditions, just laying the forearms down with hands haging off the front, is too sketchy for me and also too bruising.
