The wrists are no lower than the elbows
As I said on TTF:
I'm guessing Theo's breach of Reg.14.d.i was down to an equipment failure rather than a deliberate choice, maybe he was too busy looking at that to bother with trying to see the road ahead.
"The riding position shall be set so that the competitor has good forward vision when in a competitive position."
and
"(d) Machines fitted with triathlon handlebars and derivations thereof which have forearm supports, or Spinacci type handlebars without forearm supports, may be used provided that when the rider adopts a competitive position on these bars:
(i) The wrists are no lower than the elbows.
(ii) The height from the ground to the forearm resting position is no less than 80% of the height of the saddle from the ground."
