Yeah, I was wondering about this. At least in plank, the point is to stack your joints as linear and vertical as possible, to avoid random bits of pressure on wrist/elbow/tricep/shoulder and instead direct the effort backwards to your back and core muscles.
But of course, road cycling might have different priorities?
