I second EVERYTHING [MENTION=413312]WNCGoater[/MENTION] said, including about nose up. To me it sounds more of an adjustment issue than a saddle issue. It took me a while of dicking around on multiple bikes to learn what saddle position is comfortable to me, and it did end up involving a fair bit of nose up.

They can tilt, and they aren't as concerned with comfort. Trying to extrapolate what a top end pro does in a race setting and use it for advice for a new ride recreationally is bad.
