Tri bars.

[Mugshot]

Is there a reason that the pros don't use tri bar attachments on the drop handlebars on their normal road bikes. I quite often see them with their forearms resting on the top of the bars and I was wondering why they don't have a set of tri bars instead. Is it purely down to weight or is there another reason?

Because there hasn't been a time trial yet.
They aren't permitted in road stages. See this thread: http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/why-no-aero-bars.160320/

don't be daft - there's a lot of action in here - easy enough to miss a thread.
