Are you discussing standing on a TT/Tri bkie vs a standard road machine?
Bikes designed for Time Trials and Tri Bike-legs are optimized for aerodynamic efficiency on flat-ish parcours not climbing.
The TT position and machine configuration would indeed make for an awkward beast to stand for any length of time since that is as non-aerodynamic as would be possible.
Not exactly what the designers had in mind for operational control and rider positioning except for a few pedal strokes launching out of the start house.
