No. A drop bar is designed to be used for several positions. Your body would not tolerate miles of riding in a single position, which is why distance and performance oriented road riders choose some variant of a drop bar.

Most riders get fit with their hands over the hoods because that is their most neutral position and where they do most of their riding.
