It's a funny one -and a cliche- but my road bike is actually stiffer laterally than the cross bike, but significantly more forgiving over crap road surfaces.
Some of that might be down to the alloy post on the cross bike versus the carbon on the road bike, but I think that's kind of cancelled out by the "slab of carbon" saddle on the road bike versus the sofa like Arione on the crosser.
Whatever- the crosser beats you up, the road bike doesn't.
On road tyres, anyway.
