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.

You and Pifko also implied that 3 days ago. I just wanted to confirm the wrist rule to myself. Couldn't remember if it was CTT or only UCI.

Possibly, but not for the head down riding as much as for continuing to race after a mechanical which rendered the machine unsafe to ride. If the bars drop 10° because they are not properly fixed, they can drop another 80° without warning. The safest handhold once you have lost confidence in the bar clamp is the one which is coaxial with the clamp.
