if the issue is his position
It's not the position per se, but the equipment used to allow him to maintain that position while expending less energy than somebody using an identical position without the prohibited forearm support.

I know CTT don’t play by UCI rules but those bars are UCI legal.
I have zero idea how such is the wording.

I don't really get this. The (intentionally loosely drafted) regs don't say you can't use equipment that makes it easier to do X or Y. It says you can't puppy paws, for example simulate a tribar position by resting forearms.
There are pictures of other riders resting their forearms on handlebars of different types. If the equipment is the issue then there will need to be a lot rider investigations...

I’ve not seen photos of everyone, but if the issue is his position (rather than the light / bottles etc) then surely they’ll have to DQ half the field won’t they?
