Longer (20mm?) higher stem as mentioned. You can also get about another 10mm reach by rotating your bars so the section behind the hoods is a bit flatter, and then untape the bars in order to move the hoods further round the bar.
A good ballpark measurement - when you're in the drops as pictured, bend your arms so that your forearms are more like parallel to the ground - your knees should only just brush against your triceps rather than clattering your arms.
