Yeah, you see this a lot when the riders are going hard in breakaways...such as, say, a 45 km solo breakaway in P-R... The exertion pulls you forward onto the nose.
Lots of road racers have a big setback on the saddles because, as James says, in long stage races and the like they spend a lot of time sitting fairly upright in the peloton and not putting out a lot of power. In that case, it's more comfy to sit further back for most.
