Again, this is simply wrong. A racing bike is one type of drop-bar bike that has an aggressive riding position. Drop bar bikes with less aggressive positions include the off-road bikes already mentioned as well as endurance-style road bikes.
A properly fitted drop bar bike should not cause fatigue or back pains.
