Oooops, sorry, iab, invisible aerobars... resting your forearms on the tops of the handlebars, so you can achieve a more narrow (aerodynamic) position even when you do not have aerobars.
It's quite aerodynamic once you get used to it, and also if you have good core support you can really rest in that position. Well, except for the pedaling legs and the abs, that are in fact doing a good share of work

Make sure it's allowed though. In the last couple of years, for some reason, it was not allowed at several local races - but still we see it done all the time, Grand Tours included. But just to be on the safe side, ask first!
