Thems the rules. Unless your club expressly forbids it, but then that's down to your club and how they view it. Doesn't stop you racing.
But guys, seriously, caps? 3/4 bibs? Come on you're all wealthy buyers, get the right equipment and use it the right way (as Ron Dennis used to say).
As for the funny upright, curved back positions: the flexibility will come, but you need to work on it, lower the bars, get a longer stem and practice riding with your elbows slightly bent and your back in an aero position (don't forget to keep looking ahead).
And just because there's a neutral lap at the start doesn't mean you should be riding off holding the tops, get on those drops, damn you.
