These are prototype bars -- I'm definitely going to test them out and make sure I feel safe with them before I go do a technical TT course. And it's possible that I'll decide they are too narrow, and I'll either make a wider set, or I'll reserve them for non-technical races. But from my previous experience, having really narrow bars doesn't make handling the bike difficult, rather it makes riding out of the saddle difficult. Until I get out on the road with these, I'm just speculating. I sure hope these don’t bring about an early funeral!

UK CTT regulation is 35cm, but the UCI don't seem to be specific. I wouldn't fancy 28cm if there is any technical riding to do, but hey, it's your funeral :-) Indeed, I googled it after I said that too.
