You angle the shifters like that because your handlebars are too wide, you can achieve the same wrist/hand position by fitting narrower ones. Adam Hansen was on 38cm, and BTW if he was on 42/44 he would have had a much shorter stem.
I don't, I angle them like that for the reasons I mentioned above. The bars are 40cm Specialized Hover bars.
The massive saddle tilt is also not a good sign, isn't your saddle too high?
This saddle has a curve to it - the centre of the saddle, where my hip bones sit, is actually very close to horizontal - https://i.imgur.com/KaL2xHb.png
I live in a flat and windy country, so I totally get the whole forward/aero position, and interest in Adam Hansen bike, but he was a pro with a big engine, I guess you're not.
Rude. My engine's humongous.

I don't actually mind the bars per se, but you can't say you want stem slammage yet have riser bars (this is just internet bantz by the way, no offense intended)...
