1.3.022 In competitions other than those covered by article 1.3.023, only the traditional type of
handlebars (see diagram «structure 1») may be used. The handlebars must be
positioned in an area defined as follows: above, by the horizontal plane of the point of
support of the saddle (B); below, by the horizontal line passing 10 cm below the highest
point of the two wheels (these being of equal diameter) (C); at the rear by the axis of the
steerer tube (D) and at the front by a vertical line passing through the front wheel spindle
with a 5 cm tolerance (see diagram «Structure (1A)»). The distance referred to in point
(A) is not applicable to the bicycle of a rider who takes part in a sprint event on track
(flying 200 m, flying lap, sprint, team sprint, keirin, 500 metres and 1 kilometre), but must
not exceed 10 cm in relation to the vertical line passing through the front wheel spindle.
